Green and Poole were involved in an altercation last week that saw the latter end up on the deck. It remains unclear how long Green will be away, given that GSW are scheduled to begin their preseason matches ahead of their title defence tip-off against Lakers on October 18th.

Golden State Warrior's general manager Bob Myers had earlier confirmed that Green had actually apologised to the team.

Myers then confirmed that the team would make a decision on any other subsequent disciplinary actions that would follow. The decisions would be made internally

A video of the incident surfaced online

Sports Brief had earlier reported that a video of the incident had sensationally leaked a few days after news broke of Golden State Warriors All-Star Draymond Green punching his teammate Jordan Poole.

The incident happened during the Warriors' training camp on Thursday. Still, the team stated that they would solve the issue internally before TMZ acquired the video, which went viral Friday evening.

The Warriors were intensifying their training before the NBA tip-off on October 18 against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Stephen Curry-led team now have to grapple with an incident which threatens to damage team dynamics as their Warriors try to defend the title they won in July.
