The Warriors striker appears to be filled with regret over the incident with Poole. He is talked about it several times.
“One of my biggest failures as a vet was what happened with Jordan Poole,” Green told The Two Cents Podcast. I needed to go through that failure with Jordan Poole, who was someone who came in and chose his locker to be next to me because he wanted to learn from me. (He) was someone I would spend time with and I would pour myself into, and I (f*cking) made it all up.”
Perhaps with this latest apology, the two players can settle their differences. The Warriors next play the Boston Celtics on Monday.
