Kerr publicly apologized the following day, and the incident ultimately appeared to strengthen their relationship.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-container\">\n<div class=\"ad-wrapper article-treatment\">\n<div class=\"ad-slug-container\">\n<p class=\"ad-slug\">Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"mid1\" data-position=\"mid1\" class=\"ad place-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Green remains one of the most respected voices in the Warriors\u2019 locker room and a foundational figure in the franchise\u2019s championship era.
