It looks like there is trouble brewing in the Golden State Warriors locker room, as things got tense between Steve Kerr and Draymond Green.
The Golden State Warriors got a big win over the Orlando Magic in what can be described as their best performance of the NBA season.
Brandin Podziemski stepped up in the Warriors’ win in a major way, coming off the bench to aid Stephen Curry’s 26-point performance in the win.

It was a stellar win for the Warriors, who showed that they can play elite basketball when every member of their roster is engaged on both ends of the court.
However, one of their key players, Draymond Green, was entirely out of the game after a timeout in the third quarter. And as it turns out, it was because of a huge argument with Steve Kerr.

It wasn’t clear exactly what was said, but a fan recorded the interaction, and it was clear from their facial and body language that they were aggravated.
Eventually, Green would walk away and head to the locker room, presumably at the request of Steve Kerr, to cool off.

After the game, Steve Kerr spoke to reporters about what exactly happened between him and Draymond Green, and Kerr didn’t mince words when describing the incident.
“We got into it, obviously. We had it out a little bit, and he made his decision to go back to the locker room and cool off.
“That’s all I’m going to say about it. Everything is private. I got nothing further to add. He wasn’t going back in (the game).”
Draymond Green also spoke about the altercation, simply stating that he needed to cool off
“Tempers spilled over. I just thought it was best that I get out of there. I don’t think there was a situation where it was going to get better.
“So it was just best to remove myself. Basketball… S— happens. We move forward. We’re alright.”
It’s clear that both sides are going to try to minimize the impact of this, but this is a situation that everyone should keep an eye on.
