“These things happen. Nobody likes it, we don’t condone it, but it happens,” Myers said. “Draymond apologized to the team. Jordan was there in the room. … As far as any suspension, punishment, fine, we will handle that internally.”
There has been a rumor that Jordan Poole has had a bad attitude during practice. This then led to the incident with Draymond Green. However, head coach Steve Kerr has shot down the idea that Poole has had a poor attitude.
“There was a report that Jordan had an attitude in camp, and that could not be further from the truth. He’s been fantastic,” Kerr said.
“It’s unfortunate, I’m not going to deny it,” Myers said. “It’ll take some time to move through, but we’ll move through it and move forward. And I’m confident that we will. … This isn’t our first thing that’s happened, first sense of adversity. We’ve been through some of this before. Don’t like going through it but it’s part of the NBA and it’s part of sports.”
Draymond Green, the longtime Warrior, struggled during the 2022 NBA Finals against the Boston Celtics. The Warriors were able to win despite this, though. Looking to repeat this season, the Warriors season on October 18th against the Los Angeles Lakers.
