General manager Bob Myers said Thursday that the Warriors will handle any discipline for Draymond Green "internally" for his altercation with Jordan Poole at practice Wednesday.

"As far as any suspension, punishment, fine, we're going to handle that internally," Myers said. "I understand you might have questions on that, but that's going to be an internal process."

Myers does not anticipate Green to miss any games for the incident.

"I don't think [Green will miss any games] at this point," Myers said.

Per reports, Green "forcefully struck" Poole during a heated argument Wednesday before the two players needed to be separated. 

Poole went on to finish his workout for the day, while Green was apologetic for the incident. Green addressed the Warriors at the team facility Thursday morning and left soon afterwards.

"Everybody's fine. Jordan practiced today. Draymond didn't," Myers said. "Look, it's the NBA. Professional sports. These things happen. Nobody likes it, we don't condone it, but it happened. Draymond apologized to the team this morning. Jordan was there in the room, I was in the room, the team, the coaches, players. And we heard that."

Warriors coach Steve Kerr said Thursday that while Green didn't practice with the team and won't be at the facility on Friday, he expects Green to return to practice on Saturday.

The Warriors continue their five-game preseason slate Sunday with a home matchup against the Los Angeles Lakers at 5:30 p.m. PT. The game will be televised on NBC Sports Bay Area and streamed on the MyTeams app.
