The punch was vicious, unnecessary and unprofessional, and Draymond Green is lucky he didn’t cause a significant injury, JeffZillgitt writes in his latest column.
The NBA league office generally doesn’t get involved in internal team altercations. In 2017, the Chicago Bulls suspended Bobby Portis for punching teammate Nikola Mirotic who sustained facial fractures and a concussion, and Warriors coach Steve Kerr was once on the receiving end of a punch from Michael Jordan when they played for the Bulls.
Just because Poole didn’t sustain a serious injury doesn’t mean Green should get off easy. Maybe the NBA should get involved and take the appropriate action that the Warriors were unable to do. Poole was a vital contributor last season and will be again as the Warriors contemplate a long-term extension with the 23-year-old guard who finished fourth for Most Improved Players in 2021-22. Green is also up for an extension. And while Warriors ownership is conscious of salary cap and paying an exorbitant luxury tax bill, Myers didn’t think the altercation was over contract situations but rather just normal trash talk that happens during practice.
