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.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will be sidelined for at least one week due to a mild calf strain, the team announced Monday.

The Warriors are currently 11th in the Western Conference with a 21-21 record. Draymond Green is in the second year of a four-year $100 million deal. His value as a veteran leader with a wealth of championship experience would be highly enticing for peripheral contenders, especially those in need of an elite defender.

Austin Rivers detailed that the fight between Warriors forward Draymond Green and Jordan Poole was the beginning of the end.

With a 21-21 record, the Golden State Warriors are expected to be active ahead of the Feb. 6 trade deadline. While a move isn't guaranteed, Warriors fans should expect Mike Dunleavy Jr. to be proactive in researching potential upgrades and the cost of bringing them to the franchise.

The Golden State Warriors may be faced with an impossible decision in the near future concerning two legendary players.

The middle portion of the Western Conference standings is a forgiving place. The struggling Suns were blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, leaving them tied with the Warriors at 21-21. The Minnesota Timberwolves have fallen to 22-21, and the Warriors already own the tiebreaker over them.

Draymond Green is the emotional leader of the Golden State Warriors roster. The veteran forward is relied upon to set a tone, both on the court and in the locker room. His experience as a four-time NBA champion and former Defensive Player of the Year is invaluable; especially now the Warriors are edging toward a younger cohort of players.
