EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) — A judge has agreed to move a hearing for Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green in his misdemeanor assault and battery case before he leaves next month for the Olympics.
The Lansing State Journal reports that a pre-trial conference originally set for Aug. 4 will be held next Thursday. The former Michigan State basketball player is accused of striking former Spartans football player Jermaine Edmondson in the jaw during a weekend confrontation near the East Lansing campus.
Green’s attorney says it would be difficult for his client to communicate while he’s out of the country.
