The Los Angeles Clippers had only just recalled him from the NBA D-League, and now he’s absent for both shocking and disappointing reasons. On Sunday, rookie Branden Dawson was arrested for domestic violence. The details are still emerging, but it’s still hard to believe that such a well mannered and humble player like Dawson is responsible for such a crime.
TMZ originally broke the story, reporting the following details:
Clippers forward Branden Dawson was arrested for felony domestic violence this morning… TMZ Sports has learned.
We’re told he was taken into custody around 8:30 in LA this morning.
