Green sparked Warriors’ ‘biggest crisis’ after Poole punch but escapes ban

Draymond Green has been fined but won’t be suspended by the Golden State Warriors for punching his teammate Jordan Poole in the face last week.

Coach Steve Kerr said after Tuesday’s preseason win against Portland that Green will return to practice on Thursday, then play for the defending NBA champions against Denver on Friday night and again in the season opener on Tuesday against the Lakers. Kerr described the incident as the “biggest crisis we’ve ever had since I’ve been coach here”.
