Steve Kerr on the leaked video of Green and Poole: "It's like if you had a camera in your family and there was a family dispute. Would you really want to discuss it with the world? No."<br><br>"In 32 years, I've probably seen 20-plus fights. It should not make it out of our walls."

ESPN's Ramona Shelburne and Adrian Wojnarowski reported Friday that the Warriors are investigating "every legal course of action" to uncover how the video leaked to the public.

TMZ published the video, which showed the Warriors going through a practice closed to the media, on Friday.

Green, who was seen throwing a punch that fell Poole in the video, apologized for his actions in a press conference with reporters Saturday.

Draymond Green is stepping away from the Warriors for a few days at least, he just announced in a press conference. "I was wrong." Just apologized to team, organization, Jordon Poole, the Poole family, his own family.

Green also concurred with Kerr that the video should not have leaked, calling it "bulls--t" that it happened.

The defending champion Warriors will open their title-defending season on Oct. 18 at home against the Los Angeles Lakers.
