Clipper Branden Dawson says he does not expect charges in spousal abuse case

Clippers rookie forward Branden Dawson said Sunday he was confident charges would not be filed in his felony spousal abuse case after his attorney spoke with NBA investigators about the situation.

Dawson was arrested last month at a residence in Playa Vista and faces an initial court date Thursday. He said his attorney had advised him not to comment on the specifics of the incident but acknowledged fear about his career being in limbo during the three weeks he was away from the Clippers.

“I was baffled by the whole thing,” Dawson said.
