Draymond Green reportedly slapped taunting fan at nightclub
Draymond Green was arrested for suspicion of assault over the weekend, and various reports indicate he was at a nightclub in East Lansing when the incident took place.
Evan Sernoffsky of the San Francisco Chronicle heard from a source that Green hit a fan who was taunting him and there were no significant injuries.

The East Lansing Police Department provided Ethan Sherwood Strauss of ESPN with some more information, confirming that Green was arrested for assault and calling the incident “basically an altercation between two guys.”
One person who claims to have been at the scene of the incident — which police say took place at Conrad’s Grill in East Lansing — insists Green was provoked and that he has video proving the Golden State Warriors star’s innocence.
I was on the scene when Draymond Green got arrested. It was not his fault. Don't believe what you read.

Out of respect of @Money23Green I will post the video if it is needed to clear his name. I have 2 videos of him being provoked and bullied.
