    EAST LANSING, Mich. — An attorney for Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green says a misdemeanor assault-and-battery charge from a confrontation near the Michigan State campus could be resolved before the U.S. basketball team competes in the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

    James Heos tells the Lansing State Journal that Green appeared during a closed-door pretrial conference Thursday (Friday, Manila time) in East Lansing District Court via FaceTime. The U.S. team starts play in Rio on Aug. 6.

    Heos said a plea agreement is a possibility and that he's "still accumulating witness' statements" and "trying to get to the bottom of this."

    Green is a former Michigan State standout. He's accused of striking ex-Spartan football player Jermaine Edmondson on July 10 near campus.

    Edmondson received a release to transfer from the school.
