Reports across the world suggested that Green’s outburst was due to Jordan Poole’s attitude during the whole training camp. However, Stephen Curry, Steve Kerr, and other members of the Warriors denied all such claims.
While many expected the Warriors to suspend Green or take some serious action against him, he was only fined. With the 2022-23 NBA season right around the corner, the team will be looking to solve all such issues within the team and focus on defending their title.
