Green is a Michigan native and attended Michigan State, in East Lansing.

A court document says Green was arrested at 2:28 AM Sunday morning for assault or assault & battery. He was released on $200 bond.

East Lansing police did not immediately return calls from BuzzFeed News. Michigan Live said that sources said Green was arrested. The outlet reported that police Lt. Scott Wrigglesworth said in a statement:

"The police department is not confirming any arrest with that name. What I can confirm is that we did arrest a current NBA basketball player this weekend and he was arrested for assault. That's all we're confirming right now."

Green was drafted by the Warriors in 2012 and is a member of the 2015 NBA Championship team.

The Warriors quickly released a statement regarding Green:

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

An NBA spokesperson referred BuzzFeed News to the Warriors' statement.
