Some clarity is starting to emerge about what caused the fracas in which Draymond Green socked Jordan Poole in the face at Warriors practice.

Poole and Green have both sought big money contract extensions from Golden State, and there’s not enough money in the salary cap to give both of them plus Andrew Wiggins their market value. Poole is apparently nearing an extension with the organization. Green, who has been part of the Warriors’ core for all four NBA championships but is aging past the point of being a dominant player, does not appear to have made headway.

According to TMZ, Poole has carried himself in a “cocky” manner around the team in recent days, creating some “friction.” Fast forward to Wednesday’s practice. Per the outlet, Poole called a couple fouls on Green, and Green responded by calling him a “bitch.”

“You know what it is, Draymond,” Poole allegedly said, in possible reference to his looming contract extension.

“No I don’t know, what is it?” Green reportedly responded.

From there, as TMZ published in a video on Friday, Poole pushed Green and Green responded by hitting him in the face with a haymaker.

The first reports about the incident indicated that the Warriors were weighing discipline for Green, who apologized to the team for losing his cool.

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

Other Warriors stars have disputed the idea that Poole’s recent conduct made him deserving of getting punched.

“There was a specific tweet that was put out yesterday insinuating that [Poole’s] attitude or something has changed … it’s absolute BS,” Steph Curry told reporters. “Andre [Iguodala] addressed it yesterday with his tweet, and we can kind of leave it at that.”
