Fresh off a massive four-year contract extension, Jordan Poole addressed the punch he took from Golden State Warriors teammate Draymond Green at practice earlier this month.

The incident occurred on Oct. 5, and a day later a video of Green’s punch circulated across social media and had been the big talk of the NBA in the preseason with the regular-season tip-off just days away. Poole wasn’t hurt, and Green decided to take time away from the team.

"He apologized, and we plan on handling ourselves that way, we’re going to play basketball," Poole said in his first remarks about the ordeal on Sunday. "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 had previously said he and Green were "brothers," and the young player reiterated that he meant it when he said it.

"We're here to play basketball, and our teammates and the coaching staff and the organization, everybody, knows what it takes to win," he added.
