Poole wasn't injured by the violent punch Oct. 5. Green rejoined the team after a leave of absence, and he met with Poole in the days before they played together again Friday night against the Nuggets.

"He apologized, and we plan on handling ourselves that way, we're going to play basketball," Poole said Sunday in his first public remarks since the fight and after video leaked from the incident. "Everybody in the locker room and on our team knows what it takes to win a championship and we're going to do that on the court. That's really all I have to say on the matter, we're here to win a championship and keep hanging banners."
