Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, who was recently charged with assault after allegedly slapping another man, has reached a plea agreement with East Lansing (Mich.) prosecutors. In exchange for a misdemeanor assault being dropped, Green accepts responsibility for a noise violation. Such a violation is a civil infraction, meaning it is akin to receiving a speeding ticket or a fine for failure to wear a seatbelt.
Green, who has earned almost $17 million over his first four NBA seasons, will have to pay a $500 fine and a $60 restitution fee.
