Tensions between former Warriors teammates Jordan Poole<\/a> and Draymond Green<\/a> refuse to die. The infamous punching incident in 2022 remains a dark chapter in the franchise’s history. Now on the Wizards, JP visited the Chase Center for the second time since being traded.<\/p>\n

Returning to the Bay Area, Poole dropped 38 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists against his former team. The 2021-22 champion was also 8-for-15 from the 3-point line. Despite a Poole Party being on full display, the Wizards couldn’t finish the job, losing 122-114 to the Warriors.<\/p>\n

Receiving a warm welcome from Dub Nation, Poole was seen catching up with former teammates and the management staff. A lot of the fans were seen wearing his No.3 jerseys as well. Addressing the media postgame, the 6’4″ guard reciprocated the adulation but had a few exceptions.<\/p>\n

Did Jordan Poole’s Comments Hint Towards Draymond Green?<\/h2>\n

JP’s Cryptic Message Sparks Buzz<\/h3>\n

The Warriors selected Poole as the 28th pick in the 2019 NBA Draft. Seen as a backup to an injured Klay Thompson<\/a> at the time, JP would develop as one of the most reliable shooters on the roster. His four-year stint in the Bay Area was nothing short of a roller-coaster ride.<\/p>\n

Shipped to Washington in the summer of 2023<\/a>, Poole found himself in a challenging situation. Occasionally having his big nights, JP hasn’t been able to lift the Wizards<\/a> from the East’s bottom rankings. Nonetheless, the 25-year-old has no ill feelings for his former team<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, I love those guys over there. I love most of those guys over there. A really good group. A really good staff. Shout out to the fans. I saw a lot of 3 jerseys out there, a lot of JP3 jerseys, which is always really cool. I always get a lot of love (here). I spent some good quality time here, and it’s dope to see it appreciated.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One cannot help but notice the underlying tone of Poole’s message for his former teammates. Revealing how he loved most of the guys on the Warriors, JP potentially alluded to the infamous punching episode with Green and the aftermath.<\/p>\n
