Draymond Green to "step away" from Golden State Warriors after punching teammate

Draymond Green will be away from the defending champion Golden State Warriors indefinitely — which coach Steve Kerr called a "mutual decision" — after the star forward violently punched teammate Jordan Poole in the face Wednesday.

Green had been scheduled to rejoin the team for practice Saturday. He said he expects to play in Golden State's season-opener on Oct. 18, but he is unsure of his status as well as how long he will be away.

"Yes, a mutual decision for him to step away for a few days. No set number," a Warriors team spokesperson confirmed to CBS News Saturday in a brief statement.
