Warriors’ Green sued by couple

Warriors forward Draymond Green has been sued by a former Michigan State football player and the man’s girlfriend nearly a year after an encounter outside a restaurant in East Lansing, Mich.

Jermaine Edmonson and Bianca Williams said in a news conference in Los Angeles that they are seeking unspecified damages after an encounter last July ended with Green allegedly hitting Edmonson in the face.

“I think about what happened with Draymond every day,” Edmonson said in a story posted on ESPN.com. “I still feel his hand on my jaw. There are nights where I wake up crying.”

ESPN said Green’s publicrelations firm released a statement, calling the lawsuit’s allegations “misinformation.” Golf: San Francisco’s Joshua Lim, an incoming senior at Lowell, shot a 1-under-par 67 to lead of group of 16 qualifiers on the first day of the 89th annual San Francisco Junior Golf Tournament at Lincoln Park.
