CGTN Sports Talk EP188 Draymond Green.mp3
Draymond Green of the Golden State Warriors punched his teammate Jordan Poole during team practice on Wednesday - and himself out of the team for at least days.
The 32-year-old veteran said the clash was not about contract extensions, which both he and Poole have been negotiating over with the team. But after his behavior and the release of the related video, Green is unlikely to get the salary he wants.
It's not the first time Green has found himself at the center of domestic turmoil. The last time he was in a similar situation, Kevin Durant, who helped the Warriors win two straight NBA Championships as the Finals Most Valuable Player, left the franchise before the team went through a two-year-long rebuild.
The Warriors won the title last season during which Poole became their second scoring option. This time, Green has aged; Klay Thompson has aged; the Warriors' ace Stephen Curry, has aged as well. Should the team continue to put up with Green like they did the last time?
