SAN FRANCISCO — Stephen Curry and Jordan Poole have challenged each other since the Golden State Warriors drafted Poole 28th overall in 2019. They would see who could make more shots in a row in practice and go at it in scrimmages, friendly competition that helped bring out the best in each other.

Jordan Poole said he loves “most of” the Warriors, and Draymond Green understood why his former teammate made that clarification.

Draymond Green apologized to Jordan Poole after the latter's recent comments about the Golden State Warriors came to light. Senior NBA writer Marc J. Spears recently shared a quote on X from Poole talking about his former teammates.

Sharing the court with four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP Stephen Curry has required plenty of selflessness and an overall focus on winning, which can be especially difficult for a young player.

Stephen Curry scored 26 points before leaving the game with an ankle injury in the final minute as the Golden State Warriors beat the Washington Wizards 122-114.

Curry believes a stretch of games will determine whether Golden State can salvage what has been a frustrating season so far.
