Steve Kerr Reframes Green–Poole Incident, Says Leaked Video 'Destroyed' Warriors

Kerr contends the leaked practice footage, rather than the scuffle, caused the lasting damage.

Overview

  • In new remarks, Kerr said NBA teams typically experience about two or three fights per season and characterized such confrontations as part of the sport’s competitive environment.
  • He said the 2022 video of Draymond Green punching Jordan Poole made reconciliation efforts far more difficult and described some fallout as ultimately insurmountable.
  • The coach noted the organization tried to repair relationships throughout the 2022–23 season but never fully succeeded after the footage circulated online.
  • Jordan Poole remained with Golden State through 2022–23 before being traded to the Washington Wizards ahead of the 2023–24 campaign.
  • Kerr recalled a past practice skirmish with Michael Jordan to place the episode in historical context, while Draymond Green has repeatedly apologized and acknowledged damage to his relationship with Poole.
