The All Star power forward was embroiled in post season controversy for his physical play which led to a critical NBA Finals Game 5 suspension following an altercation with Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James.
In a statement, the Warriors said the team was “aware” of the situation, but little else.
“We are in contact with the Warriors organisation and are in the process of gathering more information”, National Basketball Association spokesman Mike Bass said.
Green, 26, was arrested around 2:30 a.m. after an altercation, said East Lansing police Lt. Scott Wriggelsworth.
Draymond has a five year contract with the Warriors worth $85 million. “That’s all we’re confirming right now”.
“At Michigan State, Green was a consensus 2012 All-American and set the program’s all-time record for career rebounds”.
A court document says Green was arrested at 2:28 AM Sunday morning for assault or assault & battery. He is also a member of the US Olympic team that will compete next month in Rio de Janeiro.
According to Peter Henning, a criminal law professor at Wayne State University, Green could still be allowed to travel with Team USA despite his impending case.
