Green facing assault charge
Print Edition
GOLDEN State Warriors star Draymond Green was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor assault and battery at the weekend near the Michigan State campus, police said on Monday.
The alleged incident occurred around 2:30am on Sunday in the city where Green played for the Spartans from 2008 to 2012.
East Lansing Police Lt Scott Wrigglesworth said the alleged victim, an adult male, was not injured and did not flag down an officer after the incident.
If convicted of assault or assault and battery, Green could face 93 days in jail, a US$500 fine or both.
Messages seeking comment were left for Green, an NBA All-Star who was selected to play basketball for the United States at the Olympics next month. The Warriors said the team was collecting information about the incident and declined further comment.
“We are in contact with the Warriors organization and are in the process of gathering more information,” NBA spokesman Mike Bass said.
Records from the East Lansing District Court show that a US$200 cash bond was paid and that Green was scheduled for arraignment on July 20. A pretrial hearing will then be scheduled, at which it will determined if there is a “resolution to the case”, according to East Lansing City Attorney Thomas Yeadon.
Green averaged 14.0 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game last season in helping Golden State reach the NBA finals.
In the finals, the controversial Green got into a heated altercation with Cavaliers star LeBron James and missed Game 5 of the championship series for an accumulation of flagrant fouls throughout the playoffs. Cleveland won the championship in Game 7.
