LA Clippers player Branden Dawson was arrested Sunday morning on suspicion of spousal abuse, a felony charge.
Dawson was arrested for an incident involving his girlfriend.
Los Angeles Police Officer Rosario Herrera said the 23-year-old player was taken into custody around 7:30 a.m. at a residence in the Playa Vista area, where the team's practice facility is located on the city's westside.
He was released on $50,000 bail about six hours later. Herrera didn't immediately know if Dawson had an attorney.
"It's an awful situation," Clippers coach Doc Rivers said. "I have a daughter."
Dawson has appeared in two games for the Clippers this season, averaging 1.0 point and 1.5 rebounds. Rivers said it was too early to discuss possible team punishment for him.
Dawson was recalled from the Erie (Pennsylvania) BayHawks of the NBA's D-League on Saturday. He last played for them in a road game in Maine on Thursday night. Click to signup for FREE news updates, latest information and hottest gists everyday
