Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green, the NBA star who kicked Steven Adams in the groin, has been arrested on assault charges.

Police confirmed to ESPN that Green was arrested at a Michigan restaurant after an incident with another man.

"It was basically an altercation between two guys," Police told ESPN.

"There's no injuries. He was released with a $200 bond on Sunday."

Police couldn't confirm whether Green had punched or slapped the man, but added they were not called to the scene as they were already in the area as part of their normal patrol.

Green is scheduled for arraignment next week, and if convicted, could face a maximum of 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.

The Warriors released a short statement saying there were aware of Green's situation.

"At this point, we are collecting information and will have no further comment until we have a better understanding of the situation," the team said.

Green was at the centre of much on-court controversy during the NBA playoffs, ultimately missing Game 5 of the NBA Finals after an accumulation of flagrant fouls during the postseason.

Green played four seasons of college basketball for Michigan State.

The 26-year-old is set to join Team USA for the Olympic Games in Rio.
