A new wave of speculation surfaced this week after a viral social media post claimed to reveal what triggered the altercation.The post alleged that head coach Steve Kerr told Poole to \u201cstand up for himself\u201d after Green challenged him in practice. According to the story, Poole allegedly responded by calling Green an \u201cyou\u2019re an expensive backpack for 30,\u201d a reference to Stephen Curry. The rumor suggested that this remark directly provoked Green\u2019s punch, which was later leaked on video. In response, Green completely dismissed the narrative by posting six cap emojis on Threads, indicating the claims were false.<\/p>\n<blockquote data-dnt=\"true\" data-width=\"500\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Draymond calls cap on rumors about how things transpired leading up to his altercation with Jordan Poole. pic.twitter.com\/Rcq6vP2uVj<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheWarriorsTalk\/status\/1960402606393844186<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Later, Green expanded on his perspective and admitted that he is still learning from mistakes even at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAge 33, 34, 35, I still learn those lessons,\u201d he said. \u201cThat situation happened, and I&#8217;m like, \u2018cool, we move on.&#8217; And then when we couldn&#8217;t, I was like, \u2018huh.&#8217; And for a while, it made me think like, \u2018man, this dude&#8217;s nothing like me,&#8217; because when those things happen, you just move on. But it taught me so much,\u201d he added, according to (NSFW) interview, via ClutchPoints.<\/p>\n<p>The consequences of the 2022 training camp incident were significant for the Warriors. Poole, who had just signed a four-year extension, struggled with consistency the following season.<br \/>\nHe was eventually traded to the Washington Wizards in the summer of 2023. Green described that situation as one of the lowest points of his career.<\/p>\n<p>Poole, for his part, has spoken very little about the punch. When asked about his relationship with Green after the Warriors\u2019 playoff elimination in 2023, he simply said he had \u201cno answer.\u201d Although the two helped Golden State capture the 2022 NBA championship, their partnership ended less than a year later. The Warriors have since tried to move forward, leaning on Curry\u2019s leadership while Green continues to serve as the team\u2019s defensive anchor.<\/p>\n<p>Even with the Warriors focused on future playoff runs, the incident remains a recurring topic whenever new details or rumors emerge. Green\u2019s latest comments made clear that he rejects the viral story and views the altercation as a costly lesson in his career.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green responds on Threads to renewed rumors surrounding his past controversy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":93753,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[9,10,203,45],"class_list":["post-93752","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nba","tag-draymond-green","tag-golden-state-warriors","tag-jordan-poole","tag-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Warriors\u2019 Draymond Green calls &#039;cap&#039;
