Draymond Green once again apologises to Jordan Poole, wants him to move on

Golden State Warriors defender Draymond Green has once again issued an apology to former teammate Jordan Poole and said it’s better to move on. In the 2022 preseason, Green and Poole were seen exchanging heated words in a practice session before the former punched the latter as seen in a viral video in October.

Poole recently said on Saturday that he loves most of the guys at Golden State Warriors when he received a warm reception at the Chase Center while representing the Washington Wizards.

Green posted a tweet in response to Poole’s comments that read, “I really am sorry.”

“I responded because it’s been three years,” Green said Wednesday on “The Draymond Green Show with Baron Davis.” “Like, let’s move on. We’ve moved on. I really am sorry. That statement [by Poole] was kind of like it was looking for some sympathy … kind of keep wanting to make me out to be the bad guy. Move on, bro. It is what it is.

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have punched him. But it happened. Let’s move on.”

Meanwhile, Green later publicly apologized to Poole and his family. Green was fined by the Warriors but did not face any sanction from the league.

“I kind of go back and forth with this,” Green said on the podcast. “I know I was wrong, but you can’t call a man a B-word and push him and not get hit, either. So, I kind of sit in both of those spaces sometimes. Like, the reality is, the answer is probably somewhere in the middle, right? I shouldn’t have knocked him out like that. If anything, I should have hemmed him up. It kind of was just a natural reaction.

“I think, for him, you are kind of bringing that back up on yourself. Like when you do that, you just bring up that moment back on yourself. You just got to move on and keep it pushing, man. Got to let it go.”

Green is currently out of action due to a left calf injury and he will be reevaluated next week.
