Green’s schedule for the Olympic basketball team includes training sessions and exhibition games from July 18 through August 1. If convicted, Green could face 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.
Edmondson ran into Green in East Lansing the very next night outside of a restaurant. Edmondson, whose 22nd birthday was Sunday, told police he and his girlfriend were choked Friday night by men who were with Green at a bar near the campus. Supposedly, Green turned around and asked him, “Do you know who I am?”
Edmondson told police his trouble with the Warriors star began at another bar the night before. He indicated that Draymond put his hand on him and started to talk to him. The other responding officer said that he heard “a loud smack noise”. Jermaine Edmondson said that he didn’t need any medical attention and will not press charges against Green. Green was also there and Edmondson spotted him talking to his roommate.

At that point, Edmondson was either punched or slapped.

Green was at a tech conference yesterday in Colorado, and addressed the arrest for assault, according to Sports Illustrated. Green was arrested with a.10 blood alcohol level-.08 is the legally drunk level-and reportedly said he was sorry for hitting Edmunson. As a public figure, I just can’t put myself in certain situations. What did he do to a fan or heckler outside of a bar in East Lansing to get arrested? “It’s something that I’ll learn from and move on”. Green, 26, is set to join Team USA in August at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
