Green How many days will you leave the team
Draymond Green and Golden State Warriors are dealing with the consequences of Green teammates Jordan Poole's video of beating teammates during training leaking to the public.
This video was from a non-public training last week and shocked many people in the NBA community as Green hit his teammate's face and swung the club viciously after being pushed away by Poole.
Saturday, Green announced that he would leave the team for a few days after the video was released.
Although people have been discussing whether Green should face a long suspension—Golden State Warriors say Green would not miss any games before the video leaks—a former NBA player believes Green will not be suspended and thinks the response to the blow is too exaggerated.
"There is no doubt that this behavior is not common in normal society," two-time NBA champion Kenny Smith told TMZ Sports. "However, this behavior happens a lot in sports because of physical fitness, adrenaline and all of these factors."

Smith continued: "When I saw the video, I thought it would be worse. I was like, 'Oh, they just had a melee.'" He added that he thought Green would be fined for boxing.
Smith is now an analyst at TNT "NBA Insider", saying he doesn't think there will be any problems with Poole and Green playing together after a quarrel.
Smith told TMZ: "I won two championships and about five people competed."
Green told reporters on Saturday that he apologized to the team and Poole and apologized to Poole's family at a press conference on Saturday.
Green said: "This (video) brought a huge embarrassment. Not only for myself, because I am the person in charge of this operation...this is a problem I have to deal with." "But the embarrassment that Jordan has to face and the dilemma that this team has to face, this organization has to deal with. And Jordan's family. His family has watched that video. His mother, his father has watched that video.

"Frankly, if my mom saw that video, I know how my mom felt. I know her reaction, I know what she will do next. For this, I apologize to his mom and dad. ”
According to ESPN, Golden State is taking “every legal action” to discover how the video is released to the public.
