Green Bay Packers legend Ahman Green was arrested in Wisconsin on felony suspicion of child abuse ... official records show.

The Brown County Sheriff's Dept. confirms 40-year-old Green was booked early Monday morning for an alleged incident on Sunday evening.

Green has been booked for felony child abuse -- intentionally causing harm/cruelty toward a child. The charge carries a maximum of 6 years in prison if convicted.

A rep for the Sheriff's Dept. tells TMZ Sports ... "We had contact with Mr. Green on Sunday June 25th at 11:30 p.m. He was arrested for physical abuse of a child in a family related incident."

"The referral has been made to the Brown County District Attorney’s Office and any additional requests will need to be made to them as we cannot comment on pending cases."

According to his booking sheet, Green is being held without bond until he goes in front of a judge.

Green was a 4-time Pro Bowl running back during his career and was later inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame.

Story developing ...

Here's Dwyane Wade taking a very expensive doggie for a walk ... a canine-shaped designer man bag and it costs a FORTUNE!!

Yes, this is fashion now ... and the designer is Thom Browne (who also makes man bags in the shape of penguins, turtles, whales, fish and boats).

Price tag on Wade's pooch -- $2,600.

Wade is wearing the bag out in Paris -- where he's been on a fashion-driven trip with his wife, Gabrielle Union.

She also has a Browne bag. Her purse runs about $4,500.

Bad news, good news for ex-MLB superstar Miguel Tejada ...

Bad News -- someone broke into Tejada's Ft. Lauderdale home and jacked thousands of dollars worth of expensive belongings.

Good News -- Cops have arrested the suspect and Tejada should get his stuff back.

Here's what we know ... Tejada had been spending a TON of time in the Dominican Republic, as he's relocating his family.

Officials says a 60-year-old man who was house-sitting next door noticed that no one was checking in on Tejada's home and saw an opportunity to jack all the fancy stuff that was still inside.

Michael Jones, attorney for the Tejadas, says officials believe the suspect, Mark Parker, systematically took more than $10,000 in belongings over a period of 3 months.

Sources connected to Tejada tell us the number could be as high as $500,000. They're still tallying up the missing items.

Sources connected to the situation tell us the loot allegedly includes expensive designer shoes, signed jerseys, MLB trophies, musical instruments, patio furniture and more.

Cops tracked down Parker and arrested him for burglary and grand theft. He's since been released from custody.

Prosecutors have dropped drug charges against NFL player Matt Elam after he was busted with prescription pills and weed back in February ... TMZ Sports has learned.

As we previously reported, the ex-Baltimore Ravens safety was arrested in Miami when things went south during a routine traffic stop.

Officials say a search of Elam's vehicle turned up weed and oxycodone pills. He was charged with three drug-related felonies.

Court records show prosecutors dropped all the charges Monday.

Domestic violence charges against Elam were dropped last week.

NBA commissioner Adam Silver didn't just attend NYC's gay pride parade this weekend -- he was waivin' the rainbow flag and dancing his face off ... and it was AWESOME!!

Silver -- one of the most powerful figures in all of sports -- rode on the NBA float alongside the league's first openly gay player, Jason Collins.

Golden State Warriors president Rick Welts -- who is openly gay -- also rode on the float with his partner, Todd Gage.

It's the second time the NBA has entered a float into the event. Last year, Silver started off walking beside the float until Collins convinced him to get on. Silver said he had so much fun last year, he couldn't wait to do it again!

The Game has a message for LeBron James ... GET ON THE LONZO BALL BANDWAGON!!!

Seriously, Game tells TMZ Sports the Lakers rookie will bring a 'chip to L.A. in ONE SEASON -- and advises LeBron James to come to join the Purple and Gold squad so he can be a part of the magic.

When asked if he thinks Lonzo would play second fiddle to LeBron, Game shot back -- "Lonzo don't need no help."

R.I.P. Brian Wilson's luscious, strong, beautiful beard ... 'cause the MLB pitcher says his face-warmer is officially gone forever.

Probably.

The ex-SF Giants/Dodgers fireballer was lookin' all jacked in L.A. this week -- sippin' on a blender full of a healthy-lookin' drink -- when we noticed his face was much more bare than we were used to.

FYI, Wilson's reportedly attempting an MLB comeback as a knuckleballer.

And by the look of his stubble, the beard is also trying to make a comeback.

Fingers crossed for both.

A UFC fighter got the literal crap beat out of her Sunday night -- and left the proof INSIDE THE OCTAGON!!

The fighter is Justine Kish -- who was trying to wriggle her way out of a killer rear naked choke courtesy of Felice Herrig during "UFC Fight Night" in Oklahoma last night ... when her bowels betrayed her.

Kish lost the fight ... and the contents of her colon.

LaVar Ball isn't the only one in the world who thinks he could've beaten Michael Jordan 1-on-1 ... his father agrees ... telling TMZ Sports he's CERTAIN his Big Baller son would've dominated His Airness.

Post Malone is giving props to Stone Cold Steve Austin for being the inspiration to one of his songs ... and perhaps a shot at getting in the ring himself.

We got Post Sunday outside of the JW Marriott in L.A. and asked if he'd be down to do with Steve what he's doing with A.I. and his song "White Iverson. Sounds like he's all in ... Steve's just gotta make a call.

Then Post starts talking wrestling, and says he'd be down to throw down some suplexes on the mat if the opportunity presented itself. Again ... WWE just needs to pick up the phone.

Here he is ... the KC Chiefs trainer who helped save a closeted gay NFL player from killing himself, David Price, tells TMZ Sports he was "elated" to find out he had such a positive impact.

The player is ex-offensive lineman Ryan O'Callaghan -- who recently came out publicly on Outsports.com after keeping his sexuality a secret during his entire football career.

O'Callaghan -- who played for the Patriots and the Chiefs -- says he was in a dark place toward the end of his career and was on the verge of suicide ... until Price stepped in.

O'Callaghan says Price simply cared enough to talk to him and realized something was wrong -- and convinced him to get help from a team psychologist. That got the ball rolling for O'Callaghan who says he's now in a MUCH healthier mental state and loves life.

We spoke with Price who says he was unaware how important he was to O'Callaghan until he read the Outsports article this week ... but couldn't be more proud of his former player.

"I was just elated, I mean on Cloud 9 that I had that much impact on somebody's life in a positive way."

LeBron James' bald-headed workout jam session has worked wonders for Tee Grizzley's bank account ... 'cause the Detroit rapper says his record sales have TRIPLED since LBJ posted a vid vibin' to his song.

We spoke with the 23-year-old up-and-comer about Bron's "First Day Out" shout-out just 2 days after the Cavs lost in the NBA Finals ... and T.G. says the move earned the King free concert tickets for life!!

The song already had millions of views on YouTube, but the "LeBron Effect" has brought a ton of new fans (and customers) to Grizzley's music ... and he shows us the financial impact by whippin' out $80k CASH in the middle of the airport.

Michael Chiesa can't wait to shut up loudmouth Kevin Lee ... telling TMZ Sports he's gonna finish the designer label "dork" in Sunday's UFC main event.

Chiesa and Lee were the stars of a wild media event last month -- where Chiesa ran up on Lee for mentioning his mom... and got socked in the face.

MC's over the mama-drama, but told us he's PUMPED cause, "this time I get to ram my fist in his mouth and shut him up."

Chiesa knows a W moves him one step closer to Conor McGregor's lightweight belt ... AND wins his friends who bet on him a "butt-load of money" since Lee's the favorite.

Attention NBA, think twice before starting any static with Raptors superstar DeMar DeRozan ... 'cause the dude is spending his off-season throwing some serious hands with Floyd Mayweather's camp.

DeMar was one of the few people inside Floyd's private workout at Ten Goose Boxing Gym in L.A. this week -- begging the question ... whatcha doing here?

Turns out, DeMar's been training with the people who train Floyd -- plus, he's been studying Mayweather at the boxer's home gym in Vegas over the years, too. They're pretty tight.

We got our hands on one of DeMar's training sessions ... dude is no joke.

Rumble young man, rumble.

Allen Iverson's got a huge game coming up ... and here we are talkin' 'bout practice!!!

'The Answer' hit the courts at Chelsea Piers in NYC Friday to shoot around with other former NBA stars -- like Kenyon Martin -- and get ready for the tip-off of Ice Cube's BIG3 league Sunday at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

He even took some time to cross over actor Michael Rapaport just for fun ... like he once did to MJ.

Iverson's 3-on-3 team -- 3's Company -- will take on the Ball Hogs in their first game ... who are captained by Brian Scalabrine and Josh Childress and coached by Rick Barry.

We also asked Iverson if he has any words of wisdom for top pick in the NBA Draft, Markelle Fultz ... his advice was short but sweet.

Klay Thompson is a perennial All-Star, 3-Point Contest winner, and 2-time NBA champion with the Golden State Warriors ... but he's NOT Dunk Contest material.

Warriors haters will love this. Klay's in China to promote his Chinese brand Anta shoes, but he might want to lace 'em up again before he tries another dunk ... because he failed miserably in front of fans with this attempt.

Gotta admire the effort, though -- 360 dunks aren't easy. And on the bright side ... maybe Klay can score a deal with Sprite now too.
