Draymond Green was arrested over the weekend for allegedly slapping a heckling fan in East Lansing, Michigan. As far as athletes getting in trouble with the law, we’ve certainly seen worse.

Although he was injured in his first Summer League game for the Sixers, Ben Simmons impressed. He drew premature comparisons to Magic Johnson and LeBron James in that outing.
