**San Francisco, CA** – Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green has once again expressed regret over his altercation with former teammate Jordan Poole, following a seemingly pointed comment from Poole himself. The incident, a punch thrown by Green during a practice in October 2022, continues to cast a shadow even after Poole was traded to the Washington Wizards in July.

After the Wizards’ loss to the Warriors on Saturday, Poole stated in a locker room interview that he “loved most of those guys” on the Warriors, a remark interpreted by some as a subtle jab at Green. Upon seeing the quote, Green responded via social media with a simple, “I really am sorry.”

Green has previously acknowledged the incident as a significant personal failure. He stated on the “Two Cents Podcast” that he deeply regrets the fallout from his actions, emphasizing that Poole had chosen to sit next to him in the locker room to learn from him.

The incident led to an indefinite suspension for Green mid-season, during which he underwent mandatory therapy. Recent reports indicate that Green has made significant strides in managing his emotions, exhibiting a more thoughtful and less reactive approach, according to friends and observers. However, the lingering impact of the altercation is evident in Poole’s recent comments and Green’s continued expressions of remorse. Whether the two can fully reconcile remains to be seen.
