    2:55 PMNo matter where Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green goes, controversy seems to follow.

    The 26-year-old was arrested Sunday for reportedly assaulting a man at a restaurant in East Lansing, Michigan.

    Police described the incident as “basically an altercation between two guys” and there were no injuries. He was released on a $200 bond the same day, police said.

    Green’s arraignment is scheduled for July 20 and, if convicted, he could face up to 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.

    The Warriors released a statement to the media saying they are aware of Green’s situation and in the process of gathering more information.

    “We are aware of news involving Draymond Green in Michigan over the weekend,” the team said. “At this point, we are collecting information and will have no further comment until we have a better understanding of the situation.”

    Green, who played for Michigan State University in East Lansing, just completed his best season since being drafted by the Warriors in 2012. He appeared in 81 games, averaging 14 points, 9.5 rebounds and 7.4 assists during the 2015-16 season. Green was named an NBA All-Star for the first time in 2016.
