"There are no real consequences. Yeah, you can't come back to the game, or even if you get arrested, nothing really happens," Green added, via ESPN. "You just hope it gets to the point to where these leagues can work with legislators to implement laws, because that’s the only thing that’s going to ultimately correct the issue, is if you know something real is going to happen to you."
The Bucks said they were investigating the incident and consulting with the NBA.
