Green’s court date moved to next week

Draymond Green's first day in court in connection with his alleged slapping of a now-former Michigan State football player over the weekend will come sooner rather than later to accommodate the Warriors' forward's participation in the Olympic Games. According to the Lansing State Journal, a judge has approved a request from Green's attorney to hold a pre-trial conference hearing originally scheduled for Aug. 4 on July 21 instead. According to Michigan State, Edmondson - a senior cornerback - requested and was granted his release to transfer from the school in the wake of the incident.
