There have been two stories in the NBA this week, Victor Wembanyama’s play in Las Vegas and Draymond Green punching teammate Jordan Poole during a Warriors practice.
There was video footage of one but until Friday morning, not of the other. Now, there’s video of both.
TMZ obtained footage from the Warriors’ practice where the punch happened. In the video, Green approaches Poole and after exchanging some words, Poole shoves Green, who retaliates with a punch. Poole drops to the floor before teammates, coaches and staff jump in to separate the two.

In a press conference following the incident, Warriors GM Bob Myers said Green apologized to the team following the incident. Any punishment, Myers added, would be handled internally. Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Draymond Green wasn’t at practice on Thursday and would not be at practice Friday, either.
