Warriors general manager Bob Myers says Draymond Green apologized to the Golden State Warriors on Thursday morning for the altercation with Jordan Poole. According to reports, Green subsequently left the training facilities and is not expected back until Saturday (Oct. 8). The Warriors are still in the process of disciplining Green, however, Myers said he does not expect him to miss any games due to the incident.

Myers had this to say:

“These things happen. Nobody likes it, we don’t condone it, but it happens. Draymond apologized to the team. Jordan was there in the room. … As far as any suspension, punishment, fine, we will handle that internally.”

As for the reason behind the fight, Myers said upcoming contract negotiations for both Green and Poole did not play a role in the altercation, and he has not observed any change in behavior from either player leading up to the incident.

Both Warriors coach Steve Kerr and point guard Stephen ‘Steph’ Curry shared the same sentiment. Kerr said,

“There was a report that Jordan had an attitude in camp, and that could not be further from the truth. He’s been fantastic.”

Curry added:

“[Poole] has been great, and there was nothing that warranted the situation yesterday. I want to make that clear.”
