Steve Kerr downplayed an incident between two of his players that drew some attention this week.
Draymond Green and Jordan Poole were seen having a heated exchange during a break in the action during the Golden State Warriors’ 123-110 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Green had seven points in 21 minutes during the game. Poole shot 5-of-17 and 2-of-11 on threes in the victory and scored 14 points.
On Thursday, Kerr said the conflict was already resolved and had become a non-issue.
“They hashed it out afterwards,” Kerr said. “Eighty-two games, stuff like that happens. It’s behind us.”
Kerr defended Green as well, saying that the veteran’s passion and attitude are in the right place.
Green has always been a fiery player who is unafraid to get in his teammates’ faces. Sometimes it pays off, like it may have in this case. Other times, it has some serious consequences.
