It's been two years since Draymond Green punched Jordan Poole in practice ... but the two clearly haven't entirely buried the hatchet -- 'cause the NBA stars got testy with each other during Monday night's game.

Poole and his Washington Wizards hosted Green's Golden State Warriors ... and unsurprisingly, the former teammates taunted each other during the Dubs' 125-112 victory.

Jaxson Hayes will continue to suit up for the Los Angeles Lakers as the NBA reinvestigates his 2021 arrest ... and that was proven to be the case on Monday, when the 7'0" center logged minutes in his team's loss to the Detroit Pistons.

Hayes played nine minutes -- scoring five points, three rebounds and a steal -- in the 103-115 defeat ... and some fans were puzzled as to why JJ Redick chose to call his number after TMZ Sports shared new video of a verbal and physical altercation with his then-girlfriend, Sofia Jamora, at her L.A. home.

As we previously reported, the NBA reopened its probe into the player hours after our article was published ... and Hayes, Jamora and the Lakers all said they would cooperate with the inquiry.

TMZ Sports caught up with the newly crowned World Series champ as he worked an honorary shift at Raising Canes ... and he explained how the clubhouse didn't let any outside talk affect how they went about their business.
