Fans of the Golden State Warriors were hoping that the situation revolving around Draymond Green and Jordan Poole was quieting down.
It was revealed the other day that two players got into a physical altercation during a practice game, featuring Green actually physically striking Poole before the two were pulled apart.
The reporting said that Green was apologetic afterward but that he could possibly be suspended.
Just hours ago, it felt like things were starting to die down and the NBA world was moving on.
How does that video get out? Bigger mess for the Warriors to deal with now

Then a video of the fight leaked on Friday morning and it got people talking all over again.
That’s because the footage is really bad and makes the entire situation seem much more serious than previously thought.
The video shows Green hitting Poole very hard, much harder than expected, and it cast a very heavy, dark shadow over the team.
It also led many people to wonder how the video got leaked and what the front office will do with Green now.
What’s Next For The Warriors?
It sounded like Green could have possibly avoided suspension.
Just yesterday, insiders were saying that Green might be disciplined but might not miss games.
However, that seems unlikely now that footage of the fight has leaked to the web.
The severity of the fight is on full display in the video and there are multiple people calling for Green to be punished and punished harshly.
The idea of him skating by without missing games feels far-fetched following the release of the footage.
This was already a mess for the Warriors – one that was coming at the worst time – but it’s just gotten even bigger.
What will the team do now?
