Warriors forward Draymond Green insists he's sorry for punching Jordan Poole, but Wizards fans still don't appreciate him.
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green is sending an apology to a former teammate, Jordan Poole. The two players seem to have beef.
Draymond Green had a brief but meaningful response to Washington Wizards star Jordan Poole's Golden State Warriors comment.
Green has apologized to Poole — and, as he mentioned, his parents — multiple times before this instance and has taken responsibility. Yet he admitted he feels “kind of in between on certain days” when reflecting on what went down. “You can’t call a man a b-word and push him and not get hit, either,” Green said on the podcast.
Speaking on The Draymond Green Show, Draymond Green addressed his punch on Jordan Poole and expressed regret for his actions.
