Warriors praise Jordan Poole's professionalism after dust-up with ... (Monterey Herald)

Jordan Poole explodes for 18 points in the third quarter of Sunday's preseason game against the Lakers.

We got a lot of good young players, but Jordan is by far the most advanced and we’re gonna lean on him heavily now and well into the future.” And it’s clear the Warriors have high hopes for Poole’s future as a leader of the young guys. It can’t be easy to have an incident like the one between him and Green be plastered all over social media, but Poole is taking it in stride. But it’s hard to overlook the reality of the situation. He showed off his crafty ballhandling and scored 18 of his team-high 25 points in the third quarter. He has returned to Chase Center each day seemingly unfazed by the ordeal, which was intensified when video of the blow was released by TMZ Friday.

Green did not hide from questions about the incident and discussed it with reporters on Saturday. He’s physically tough. He’s mentally tough. Green is currently away from the team amid the drama and missed Sunday’s preseason tilt against the Lakers. “When things are kept internally, it’s almost easy to handle.

Marcus Smart discusses Draymond Green-Jordan Poole fight: 'It ... (CelticsBlog)

The Celtics point guard, with a history of his own, said compared Green's punch to a family altercation.

Green also mentioned that the reason behind the punch had nothing to do with contracts, which had been previously speculated. Now, the Warriors have to deal with the public ramifications of the video being leaked and everyone knowing exactly what Green did behind closed doors. As a leader, you can’t do that, especially with guys looking up to you and looking to you for advice and encouragement.” And that’s how it should be, and I think that’s how you should handle it.” At the same time, however, he noted that Green’s mistake is not what a team needs from its leader. The two had to be separated by teammates. Golden State has since launched an investigation into how the video got out, but no update has been provided on that yet. Green followed that up by punching Poole in the chin, knocking him to the ground. Back in The Bubble, Smart and Jaylen Brown In the video, Green and Poole were seen going chest-to-chest before the young guard pushed the veteran away. Needless to say, both sides are in a bit of a pickle. The regular season is still a week away, but both squads are dealing with some major internal issues.

The Warriors Are In A Difficult Situation With Draymond Green (Yardbarker)

Everyone around the basketball world has been buzzing over the last several days about the incident in which Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole during a ...

"After it was kind of in the bush there, I figured the only chance I had to stay in the tournament was to try to get it back in the fairway. As the Mariners head to Houston to take on their division rivals in the ALDS, the Blue Jays head into the offseason with a decent idea of what their roster will look like in 2023. All that was left for Kim to do was par the hole to polish off a 5-under 66 and cruise to victory. Saturday’s Game 2 is only the third playoff game ever in which a team came back to win from a deficit of seven runs or more, and holds the record for the largest deficit surmounted in a playoff comeback by a road team. The embattled referee said he made the call because "the defender grabbed the quarterback while he was in the pocket, and unnecessarily [threw] him to the ground." “The Tampa Bay Lightning is aware of the allegations against player Ian Cole and are cooperating fully with the NHL an on investigation,” the Lightning wrote in a statement. The Braves finished with the fifth-best ERA in the NL, and the second-best ERA amongst relievers. “Just knowing how he felt out of place — he played hockey growing up and he kind of got pushed out of the sport, never really played at a high level, just because of all the racism that he faced growing up in Scarborough. New York has the better lineup, and with a home run-heavy team in a home run-heavy park like Yankee Stadium, that might just be a problem for the Guardians. The Dodgers took it to the Padres in the regular season, won 14 of 19, and while I expect this series to be much closer, I still like the Dodgers. The Bet: Yankees over Guardians Other bets for this series: Cleveland to beat New York in Game One (+190) and Yankees to beat Guardians in five games (+320). No, not just because they finished with the best record in the AL, but because they also have the best all-around team, too.

“It should stay behind closed doors” Blazers' PG Damian Lillard rips ... (SportsZion)

Damian Lillard expressed dissatisfaction about the leaked footage of Draymond Green and Jordan Poole's altercation.

As the Warriors are only two weeks away from the commencement of their regular season, it will be difficult for them to put all this behind and start fresh. Damian himself has quite a bit of experience on this obviously. “But it should stay behind closed doors. When I’m coaching everyone up that doesn’t leak. “It should be handled correctly,” he said. Even though most of the
