Overview

• A LegendZ post on X alleged precursor threats, a 2021 timeout exchange versus the Timberwolves, and Poole calling Green “an expensive backpack for 30.”
• Green refuted the circulating account on Threads by posting cap emojis and labeling the clip fake, according to Fade Away World and ClutchPoints.
• The 2022 practice punch remains the confirmed turning point for Golden State’s locker room dynamics, with Poole dealt to the Wizards in 2023.
• Coverage notes the social clip’s limited verification, with no corroboration from Poole, Steve Kerr, or other principals beyond Green’s denial.
• Green has publicly called the incident a mistake he continues to learn from, while Poole’s 2024–25 Wizards line was reported at 20.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game.
