EAST LANSING, MI (WCMH) — Golden State Warriors’ star Draymond Green has been arrested in Michigan for assault.
Green was arrested in East Lansing near the downtown business district around 2:30am. He is facing assault and battery charges under the city code, according to Lt. Scott Wriggelsworth with the East Lansing Police Department.

The male victim was not injured in the incident, Wriggelsworth told WOOD-TV.

Green was released from jail after posting a $200 bond. He has 10 days to turn himself in and be arraigned on the charges.

He could face up to 93 days in jail and a $500 fine if convicted.

If he wasn't injured, is he a "victim"? Maybe he spit on the guy.

Technically, in michigan, it's considered assault if you feel threatened. It doesn't only apply to physical violence.

The guy just wants money, bet there's a civil suit and they settle out of court

[tmacdirkfan]

It probably wasn't as bad as what he does on the court every time he plays

That's why I think professional athletes should be on some type of curfew. There is no reason anyone should be out that late, just asking for trouble

Talked further with East Lansing PD about the Draymond Green incident. They state that the police were not called about the altercation. Officers were stationed downtown and responded to the commotion

[oshmeehan]

He is a POS on the court so doesn't surprise me one bit that he is a POS off of it

I am guessing at least one kick to the crotch occurred.

They are not acting like "grown men" when you hear all of these altercations, especially with football and basketball players, in the early morning hours where it could be easily avoided

[Orangejello727]

THis thread just goes to show just how much of an impact the actions of a basketball player play in peoples personal life. Dray gets arrested and let go on $200 and forum members are distraught.

Absolutely if it is in the team's and players best interest to stay out of trouble and not cause bad press for their employer

That's their own personal problem, then. Any enforcement of a curfew would be asinine. Why should 98% of players be punished for what the 2% of the idiots do?

You post in a thread that I had already posted in and was actively following and I'm stalking you.

You come into every single thread with 1 goal, make the same stupid comment about LeBron. That's what's truly getting old. It's just sad that you have no intention of contributing anything.

[exoticprince]

Not shocked. He seems like the type of dude you'd expect to slap a dude provoking him while drunk at 2am. Most of us probably would as well. But as a public figure you gotta be smarter than that. He made a mistake, he's human, it's not the end of the world

His laptop got messed up a couple weeks back and still hadn't been fixed, he hasn't been "hiding" or anything of the sort.

I wonder if Draymond went Dave Chappelle doing Rick James and said to the guy, "What did the 5 fingers say to the face?" Lol

[kairi-2008]

Green kicked a guy in the nuts, shouldn't even be news worthy.

[jrosales]

I'm willing to bet that Draymond took inspiration for his fighting style from one Bobby Hill.

Makes sense, Draymond must have assaulted it.

I am guessing at least one kick to the crotch occurred.

It was just a reflex action, though.

[Andy5]

Some guy trolls Green and gets hit for it. Seems like the guy got what he deserved.

[cdub6238]

i mean..i understand that on a scale of speeding ticket to rape/spouse abuse, its on the very low end of the spectrum...

but he did put his hands on/smacked someone, whether it was instigated or not...still gotta be smarter than that in public

[nikpounder]

Mentions battery too so maybe someone got pushed or something pushed into them.

Can't be that bad if it is a $200 bond

They haven't confirmed if Green punched or slapped the guy but that act of slapping/hitting is the battery....

I bet he was just practicing a basketball move when he kicked someone in the nuts and punched them... ;)

Man....Green just can't help it, he just needs to grab or hit any ball he sees.

I'm sure it was just a natural walking motion.

He shouldn't be punished, because this is the offseason, and it's important he rests.

Couldn't agree more.

Also a lot of very easily amused people on here. The fact that people are still making the "he probably punched him in the nuts" joke on page 3, after 5 other people have already made the joke, is astonishing to me (though it shouldn't surprise me at all).

[WLNS 6] Former MSU and current NBA star Draymond Green was arrested for assault early Sunday morning after a source tells 6 News the basketball player slapped an MSU football player.

The source knows Green and is in a position to know his side of the story.

The run-in with the football player actually stretched back to late Friday night/early Saturday morning, when the source says Green and the football player ran into each other at a local bar.

The source says the player felt disrespected because Green didn’t recognize him and insulted the Golden State Warrior.

Green, the source says, decided to leave the bar.

But a day later, at around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, the source says the player ran into Green again at a downtown East Lansing restaurant and continued to curse at him. The source says the football player started moving towards Green, so Green slapped him with an open hand.

East Lansing police were in the immediate area and took Green into custody.

So he slapped a man?

Stupid way to get arrested but will be forgotten soon. I think we can pretty much put away the excuses for Draymond because he's starting to embarrass himself.

Edmondson pressing charges now, so it's becoming a bigger deal. Draymond Green quickly becoming one of the biggest tools in the NBA; I think it will be pretty interesting to see just how much hate the Warriors will have to deal with this season. Coming from a lot of different angles ...

What does that tell you, if they do? He punched another person, which is considered assault, but because it's Draymond Green, they university will ''get involved''...in what way?

What Green does or does not do for the university shouldn't be a factor on if he committed an assault or not.

For what it's worth, it's not a big deal to me. No injuries to either party, and hopefully it doesn't escalate from here. Obviously, if this was some random frat boy punching another frat boy, we wouldn't be discussing it, but you can't let someone get away with this just because they are Draymond Green.

Interestingly enough, Edmundson's girlfriend is now claiming that she was choked too, although not by Draymond specifically.

But yea, odds are it will all end up being resolved and swept under the rug. If one of the better Universities in the Big Ten can harbor a child molester for a few decade, certainly Mich St. can hide a bar fight.

Actually the article I read claims he was punched in the face and Green or friends of Green (cannot remember) choked him out and grabbed his girlfriend by her throat. A little more serious (it sounds) than a slap.
