Jordan Poole says Draymond Green apologized, now focus is to ‘keep hanging banners’

Draymond Green apologized publicly. Jordan Poole said Green also apologized to him for a vicious punch thrown in practice.

Speaking for the first time since the altercation — and since he signed a four-year, $123 million contract extension — Poole sounded like a guy looking ahead, not backward.

"We're here to win a championship."

“He apologized, and we plan on handling ourselves that way, we’re going to play basketball. Everybody in the locker room and on our team knows what it takes to win a championship and we’re going to do that on the court. That’s really all I have to say on the matter, we’re here to win a championship and keep hanging banners.”

Poole clearly liked the taste of winning and repeatedly talked about bringing more titles to the Bay Area, which is why he wanted to sign an extension with the team.

"Pretty crazy to want to leave a team that won a championship."
