Reports began to filter out that Draymond Green was subject to a potential suspension from the Warriors after he <a href="https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2022/oct/6/warriors-draymond-green-fights-jordan-poole-in-pra/">got into an altercation</a> with Jordan Poole at a practice. 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>

This is but a non-bearing exhibition match between a little-known Paris-based team and a G League side that is made up of amateurs.

Not to be outdone, Henderson took it upon himself to answer back on the next play. Scoot had Wembanyama facing up against him at the top of the key and it’s as if his eyes lit up after seeing the French phenom standing in front of him. Henderson fired back with an even more impressive step-back jumper from beyond the ark over the outstretched arms of Victor.</p><p>Cleveland Cavaliers superstar Donovan Mitchell was tuned in as well, and he too was able to appreciate the battle between these two NBA hopefuls:</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This battle between victor and scoot is good!!</p><p>— Donovan Mitchell (@spidadmitchell) <a href="https://twitter.com/spidadmitchell/status/1577482437327626240?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 5, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>This might be a non-bearing game, but it is still pretty significant as well. Wembanyama and Henderson could be the future of the NBA, and their careers will likely run parallel with each other for many years to come. This could be the first of many, many battles ahead.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His night might be over.

The last thing the Memphis faithful would want to see is their top player and leader falling victim to an injury during a meaningless preseason outing.</p><p>Not to mention that it has been a largely positive outing for Morant prior to the injury scare, putting on a show throughout the contest with his display of defense and athleticism.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Showtime 1⃣2⃣<a href="https://twitter.com/JaMorant?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JaMorant</a> is back at it. <a href="https://t.co/dkzgSUMwTT">pic.twitter.com/dkzgSUMwTT</a></p><p>— Bally Sports South (@BallySportsSO) <a href="https://twitter.com/BallySportsSO/status/1577101429910675458?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 4, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>There are big expectations on Morant and the Grizzlies heading into the 2022-23 season.

Of course that will be a difficult task if they lose their superstar this early–with the campaign not even starting yet.</p><p>The Grizzlies play the Miami Heat, Orlando Magic and Detroit Pistons in their remaining preseason games before taking the New York Knicks in the opener.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

In fact, if you ask the two NBA stars, they would probably say he’s the lone bright spot for Baltimore in the contest.</p><p>Jackson recorded four touchdowns in the game, three on air and one on the ground. His rushing attack was particularly noteworthy, as he ran for 79 yards to help Baltimore extend their lead in the third quarter. It was so good that both Morant and Durant couldn’t help but be in awe.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">pay lamar right now 😂 not after the game &amp; not after the season .

Of course, as everyone witnessed, Baltimore collapsed in the fourth quarter and allowed the Dolphins to outscore them 28-3 to take the victory.</p><p>It was a massive embarrassment for the Ravens, especially <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tyreek-hill-miami-snap-truly-insane-mark-with-incredible-comeback-win-vs-ravens/" rel="noopener">since no team in the past 12 years</a> has blown out a 21-point halftime lead and lost the game. Despite that, Ja Morant <a href="https://twitter.com/JaMorant/status/1571597675165896706" rel="noopener">doubled down</a> on his earlier take on Jackson and emphasized that the defeat should take away the fact that the dual-threat QB played phenomenal football on Sunday afternoon.</p><p>For those unaware, Jackson and the Ravens failed to reach a contract extension in the past offseason. It means the 25-year-old QB could end up a free agent or get franchise tagged if he doesn’t reach a new deal next summer.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">idc still pay lamar</p><p>— Ja Morant (@JaMorant) <a href="https://twitter.com/JaMorant/status/1571597675165896706?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">September 18, 2022</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>Jackson is hoping to prove he is worth every penny that the Ravens can pay him, and while they are 1-1 on the season, he is definitely making his case for a big payday.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
