In a preview for the latest installment of Uninterrupted’s “The Shop,” Green didn’t hold back while talking about the “sorry motherf–kers” he and the Warriors face in the regular season. “It’s not a night that I show up and don’t wanna be a dog,” Green says in the clip, posted Thursday. “Especially if it’s LeBron [James] coming in or a Giannis [Antetokounmpo] coming in cause that’s them games I live for. “It’s the nights I show up, and we playing against the sorry motherf–kers like the Kings. OKC right now. The Kings may get better I hope, but you know, it’s like, how am I supposed to get myself up, with like, this engine, from playing in so many big-time games to playing on this soft Tuesday?”

More on this storyline

Myers opted against announcing the punishment, but there were hints. The general manager said he didn’t anticipate that Green would miss any games, which would rule out a suspension, though, sources indicate, that was at least discussed. If it is a fine, the maximum allowable is $50,000. Green came into the facility and apologized to the team Thursday morning, then departed and missed the Warriors’ practice and scrimmage. “Space is good,” Myers said. -via The Athletic / October 7, 2022
“There was a specific tweet that was put out yesterday insinuating that [Poole’s] attitude or something has changed … it’s absolute BS,” Curry said to reporters. “Andre [Iguodala] addressed it yesterday with his tweet, and we can kind of leave it at that. [Poole] has been great, there’s nothing that warranted the situation yesterday, to make that clear. But it’s also something that, I feel like, will not derail our season and what we’re trying to do.” -via Sports Illustrated / October 6, 2022
