Draymond Green apologizes for hitting Jordan Poole

• It's unclear what the two were fighting about, but team officials are reviewing the episode.
• Poole was not hurt and continued his workout after the altercation.
• Green apologized to the team Thursday morning.

Why it matters: The incident could serve as a distraction for the title-defending Warriors, whose season starts Oct. 18.

What they're saying: "We've been through some of this before … it's part of the NBA and it's part of sports," Warriors general manager Bob Myers said. "… We'll move through it and move forward," he added.

• Teammate Andre Iguodala chimed in on Twitter Wednesday night, calling the incident "family business" and showing his support for both Poole and Green.
• Steph Curry, at a press conference Thursday, said there was "nothing that warranted the situation" and that the team doesn't feel like the incident will "derail our season, and that's with Draymond a part of that."

Between the lines: This isn't the first time Green and Poole have tussled. The pair had a verbal altercation on the bench during a game against the Minnesota Timberwolves last season.

• Meanwhile, Poole and Green are seeking contract extensions, as both of theirs expire at the end of this upcoming season.

What to watch: The Warriors may reprimand Green, but it's unclear what that punishment would entail.

• Myers said he doesn't anticipate that Green will miss any games as a result of the squabble.
• The Warriors are playing the Los Angeles Lakers in their next preseason game at the Chase Center on Sunday.

Of note: The Golden State Warriors did not respond to Axios' request for comment.
