News broke earlier today that Golden State Warrior Draymond Green was arrested for assault in Michigan. Well more information has came out and it looks like Draymond is being accused of slapping a man!
According to TMZ, the NBA player was getting “heckled” by a man outside of a bar in East Lansing, Michigan. Draymond apparently had enough and hit the man in the face. Other reports also seem to back the same story:

Draymond has since been charged with misdemeanor assault but was released on $200 bail. He’s due back in court July 20th. His team has also released a statement in regards to his arrest

Well even though his home team says that they were made aware about the incident doesn’t mean it was the same story for Team USA.. if you didn’t know Mr. Draymond is supposed to play in this year’s summer olympics.
Team USA head Jerry Colangelo was not aware of the Draymond Green arrest for assault reported by @mlive – no comment until he learns more.
