The Warriors haven’t had much drama over the years between teammates, other than the Draymond Green and Kevin Durant fight once, so this was somewhat shocking.
The altercation happened during practice on Wednesday, and at the time, we didn’t have much information about how the fight happened, who prompted it, and what exactly happened.

However, TMZ leaked footage of the fight, and it show exactly how it went down. The Warriors are investigating the security breach that allowed such footage to be leaked.
TMZ could have paid a lot of money to leak the Draymond Green-Jordan Poole footage
Getting the footage of the fight is impressive, but there may have been some other powers at play. The video clearly shows Green punching Poole hard, something that’s made fans wary of what kind of discipline he may be getting.
TMZ is usually the best source for getting these leaked videos and confidential information, but they won’t have it easy. It’s a serious security breach to film practice footage, and then release it, so whoever did must’ve asked for a lot of money.

According to some reports, TMZ could have paid up to $100,000 to get the video. Of course, the $100,000 isn’t a massive hit for TMZ, as they’re now generating much more money through the video itself.
Green apologized for his actions
Green has come forward to comment about the situation, accepting fault, and even saying sorry to Poole for taking it out on him in such a harsh manner.
“These things happen. Nobody likes it, we don’t condone it, but it happens,” GM Bob Myers revealed. “Draymond apologized to the team. Jordan was there in the room. … As far as any suspension, punishment, fine, we will handle that internally.”
“It’s unfortunate, I’m not going to deny it,” he added. “It’ll take some time to move through, but we’ll move through it and move forward. And I’m confident that we will. … This isn’t our first thing that’s happened, first sense of adversity. We’ve been through some of this before. Don’t like going through it but it’s part of the NBA and it’s part of sports.”
