Jordan Poole, a Wizards player, is reaching out to set the record straight following criticism over an incident involving a timeout. After being traded to the Wizards in the offseason, Poole has been under intense scrutiny for his play on the court.
A video from a recent game against the Brooklyn Nets showed Poole seeming distracted at a key timeout, which caused fans to react negatively. It seems like Poole is chatting with a teammate as the coach sketches up a play in the video. Poole keeps talking even though his teammates and coaches keep trying to get his attention.
Fans have voiced their displeasure with what they see as the team’s lack of concentration at a crucial juncture in the game, adding fuel to the fire of criticism surrounding the incident.
Jordan Poole’s behavior during timeout is rude.But Poole says he’s innocent and that the camera didn’t catch the whole thing. There was nothing out of the ordinary about his conduct during the timeout, he says, and it’s hard to make firm conclusions from just one video shot from the stands.
