The long-time veteran forward allegedly <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-green-struck-jordan-poole-punishment-imminent/" rel="noopener">struck</a> Poole during practice. The news made the headlines immediately, as fans speculated about what could’ve sparked the incident.</p><p>Now, TMZ Sports has released footage from the alleged practice scuffle between Draymond Green and Jordan Poole. (<a href="https://www.tmz.com/2022/10/07/draymond-green-video-punch-jordan-poole-practice-golden-state-warriors/">via TMZ</a>)</p><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><p>Many Warriors fans (and even non-Warriors fans) were shocked when it was leaked that Draymond Green would be punished by the team after striking Jordan Poole. Green had always been known for his short temper, but this was one of the few times he lashed out against a teammate. Immediately, fans were curious about how and why this happened.</p><p>There were many rumors about what could’ve happened that sparked this incident. A report by Chris Haynes said that Poole had been acting different prior to the scuffle, a report that many Warriors players and staff refuted. In fact, some of their statements seemed to hint at Green being in the wrong.</p><p>Unfortunately, the video has no audio, so we couldn’t tell what was being said. It’s clear from the video, though, that both Poole and Green seemed to be having a war of words. We’ll see how the Warriors react to this footage being leaked.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Apparently, this change in attitude was something that was “building up” and that it may have played a major factor in Poole’s shocking altercation with Draymond Green during Wednesday’s practice.</p><p>Well, it sounds like that’s all BS. At least according to Stephen Curry.</p><p>The Warriors talisman has now broken his silence on an issue that has rocked the basketball world. Steph is having none of it, though, as he completely refuted reports about Poole’s attitude problem (h/t <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10051523-warriors-stephen-curry-says-rumors-about-jordan-pooles-attitude-are-absolute-bs">Scott Polacek of Bleacher Report</a>):</p><blockquote>“It’s absolute b.s.,” Curry said.“JP’s been great. There’s nothing that warranted the situation yesterday. I want to make that clear. It’s also something we feel like won’t derail our season and that’s with Draymond a part of that.”</blockquote><p>There you have it. Steph just pretty much nip that rumor in the bud. Apparently, there’s just no truth to the notion that Poole has displayed a different attitude now that he’s nearing a big-money extension with the Warriors.</p><p>Warriors head coach Steve Kerr has also <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-steve-kerr-claps-back-at-report-that-jordan-pooles-attitude-played-role-in-draymond-green-altercation/">spoken</a> about the issue, and he too has denied these reports about Poole’s behavioral change. Kerr was even more adamant in his denial, saying that “nothing could be further from the truth.”</p><p>The Warriors are obviously trying to play this issue down as much as they can, but there’s still no denying that this is a wrinkle that might just have an impact on the squad moving forward.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Green and Poole hashed things out afterwards, but it was clear that the damage was done.</p><p>The situation was only made worse today when the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/warriors-news-draymond-greens-jordan-poole-punch-video-leaking-sends-twitter-into-a-frenzy/">video</a> of Draymond Green swinging at Jordan Poole came out. The short clip of Green taking down Poole quickly went viral, and caught the attention of many folks around the NBA. Among the players to react to the video online were Trae Young, Ja Morant, and Isaiah Thomas.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Draymond is tryna get to LA.<br>Damn ! 😳</p><p>— Trae Young (@TheTraeYoung) <a href="https://twitter.com/TheTraeYoung/status/1578391946883727364?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="art">👀</p><p>— Ja Morant (@JaMorant) <a href="https://twitter.com/JaMorant/status/1578385981186707457?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 7, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">All I’m saying is you ain’t responding with a PUNCH if that’s somebody you really rock with!!!

People have said that Poole’s attitude entering the new campaign knowing that he will have a new contract coming his way soon has irked many of teammates, and it was Draymond Green who finally boiled over and erupted on him.</p><p>Fights happen from time to time in sports, but rarely do players get the opportunity to land punches before others step in to stop them. Green’s punch on Poole connected, and it’s part of the season so many players have taken note of this incident. Green got a clean swipe on Poole and landed a big blow.</p><p>Chances are we won’t see a pay per view fight of Draymond Green and Jordan Poole anytime soon, but it’s clear this incident has rattled the Warriors, and the reactions from folks around the NBA show how serious this incident is. Whether or not this will linger around Golden State heading into the season remains to be seen, but it’s clear not all is well for the defending champs.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Still, the reigning Finals MVP saw everything he needed during Tuesday’s instant-classic game to come up with the perfect description for the 7-foot-4 Frenchman.</p><p>Asked his impressions of Wembanyama, Curry went a step further than LeBron James, who <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/lakers-news-lebron-james-calls-victor-wembanyama-an-alien-like-never-seen-before/">compared the 18-year-old to an “alien”</a> after watching him drop 37 points, seven triples, four rebounds and five blocks in his first game action on U.S. soil.</p><blockquote>“He’s solid, he’s solid. He’s like the <i>2K </i>create-a-player,” Curry said of Wembanyama. “Every point guard that wants to be seven-foot, cheat-code type vibes. He’s a solid talent. It’s great to watch. They had a pretty entertaining game with the Ignite team, so it was dope.”</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">"He’s like the 2K Create-A-Player"</p><p>Steph’s scouting report on Victor Wembanyama 😂 <a href="https://t.co/9MFexK5sFY">pic.twitter.com/9MFexK5sFY</a></p><p>— Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) <a href="https://twitter.com/NBCSWarriors/status/1578137838889091074?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 6, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Curry has a point. What gamer hasn’t made that type of otherworldly create-a-player in <i>2K</i>? But Wembanyama is the exceedingly rare prospect whose blend of physical tools, current level of two-way impact and burgeoning all-court skill truly defies imagination.</p><p>He further cemented that status on Thursday, avenging Metropolitan 92’s loss to G-League Ignite two days earlier by leading his team to a hard-fought victory with 36 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and four assists. Wembanyama wasn’t quite as hot from deep, going 2-of-7 from beyond the arc, but nevertheless showed off his natural shooting touch and incredible ability to connect from multiple launch points, splashing jumpers from all over the floor. He was 12-of-16 at the free throw line, too.</p><p>Fortunately for Curry and the Warriors, they have another full season to play before worrying about dealing with Wembanyama.</p><p>He’s not a perfect prospect, needing to continue gaining strength, playing with more overt physicality and honing his overall feel for the game. But that development will surely come in time, and Victor Wembanyama did far more than enough this week to lock down the No. 1 pick come June despite a similarly jaw-dropping performance from Henderson on Tuesday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
