Draymond Green famously slugged then-Warriors teammate Jordan Poole during training camp in 2022. Poole, now a Pelicans guard and headed to free agency after the season, declared he’d be interested in a second stint with Golden State.

How does Green feel about that possibility? The veteran forward would not have objections to Poole returning to the organization, NBCSportsBayArea.com’s Dan Dempster relays.

“I have no issue with that at all,” Green said. “I will never stand in the way of this organization thinking they can better themselves. The issue will never be me. Ever.”

Green added more clarity during his podcast.

“Number one, I don’t make decisions here. I’m a basketball player,” he said. “I don’t decide my own future here, let alone someone else’s … Number two, what I said was also, I’m an adult. So if you’re asking me as if that’s going to be a problem for me, that’s no problem for me … I’m not someone who walks around with a grudge.”

Here’s more on the Warriors:

• Will Richard has been upgraded to probable tonight against Houston as he attempts to play through a UCL tear in left thumb, NBCSportsBayArea.com’s Dalton Johnson tweets. Richard, a 2025 second-rounder, is averaging 5.1 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.0 assists in 17.2 minutes per game. Richard was expected to be sidelined a significant amount of time after he was diagnosed with the injury.
• Brazilian native Gui Santos has become a role model in his home country due to his success with the Warriors. Santos earned a three-year extension in February after his role expanded. “The kids now see me as an example,” Santos told Andscape’s Marc J. Spears. “’Oh, this guy, he is in the NBA because he worked really hard. He’s not the fastest guy. He’s not the tallest guy. But he’s a guy that worked hard.’ And I like that. Even in Brazil, they have a nickname for me, ‘Gui the Worker,’ because I do just that. I go out there and do what I need to do. … If you work hard, and you are a guy that really wants that, you can make that. At some point, if you’re patient, you can make it.”
• Charles Bassey signed a one-year deal to be the team’s third-string center but he’s now solidified a rotation role, NBCSportsBayArea.com’s Monte Poole notes. “He’s really been a game changer for us,” rookie Yaxel Lendeborg said of Bassey. He’s averaging 7.7 points and 5.7 rebounds in 12.1 minutes per game. Bassey posted a double-double against New Orleans on Monday.
