Warriors Star Draymond Green Faces Misdemeanor Assault Claim

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green was arrested on a charge of misdemeanor assault and battery over the weekend near the Michigan State campus.

The alleged incident occurred around 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the city where Green played for the Spartans from 2008 to 2012.

East Lansing Police Lt Scott Wrigglesworth says the male victim was not injured and the man did not flag down an officer.

If convicted of assault or assault and battery, Green could face 93 days in jail, a $500 fine or both.

Messages seeking comment were left for Green, an NBA All-Star who was selected to play basketball for the U.S. at the Olympics next month. The Warriors said they were collecting information about the incident.
