The Warriors stopped the practice and tried to calm things down, but Green is likely to get disciplined internally.

Since then, a video of the incident has been leaked and various NBA players and personalities have reacted to Green's actions.

Former NBA player Kendrick Perkins was clearly on Poole's side with his message on Twitter:

Many have compared this incident to the one when Bobby Portis punched Nikola Mirotic in the Chicago Bulls practice back in 2017. Portis was not happy about that and has responded on Twitter, saying he only defended himself.

NBA player Evan Turner addressed another NBA player Lance Stephenson by going as far as saying that he should have done the same to him as Green did to Poole.

After the video has been surfaced lots of NBA players and personalities have reacted with their opinion on Twitter.
