Opening day of the NBA’s regular season remains nearly two weeks away, but postseason-level intensity already abounds at the Golden State Warriors‘ facility.
Anthony Slater and Shams Charania of The Athletic reported that teammates Draymond Green and Jordan Poole engaged in a heated argument at practice on Wednesday, October 5. The conflict ended with Golden State coaches cutting the session short after Green allegedly “forcefully struck” Poole during the altercation.
A subsequent report from Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports followed, citing league sources who intimated that Poole had provoked Green and other members of the team with a change in his attitude related to a new contract he is expected to receive at some point over the next year.
Dubs veteran leader Andre Iguodala was compelled to take to Twitter Wednesday night and set the record straight, at least as he sees it, on Poole’s behavior and general demeanor since the team reunited in the wake of winning a title.

“What we not gone do is talk crazy about my young fella [Jordan Poole] … great character kid … miss me with all that other bs,” Iguodala wrote. “Straight from the ‘SOURCE.’”
Iguodala went on to offer a brief comment on Green, as well.
