Did Jordan Poole and Draymond Green Intentionally Injure Nikola Jokic’s Leg? New Evidence Sparks Conspiracy Theory

During a scrum for a lose ball Draymond Green dove into Nikola Jokic’s leg injuring him, and leaving him withering in pain near the baseline, luckily it wasn’t serious. When plays like this happen one of the first questions that come to mind if it was an intentional dirty play. Something strange Jordan Poole did prior to Draymond Green’s dangerous dive has some people convinced it was a tag team effort to inflict damage on Nikola Jokic.
