Warriors star Green reaches plea deal in assault case (AFP)

Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green has reached a plea agreement that keeps him out of jail and reduced the assault charge he faced after he allegedly striking a university football player in Michigan this month. Officials in East Lansing, Michigan, announced the agreement on Friday. Green, slated to play for the USA at the Rio Olympics, will be fined $500 and pay $60 in restitution to Jermaine Edmondson, who police said was slapped by Green at a restaurant on July 10.
