Report: Dennis Schroder arrested on battery charges

Atlanta Hawks point guard Dennis Schroder was arrested early Friday morning and charged with battery, according to a report.

Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN was told by sources that Schroder was charged with misdemeanor battery for his alleged involvement in an incident that took place in an Atlanta suburb.

Wojnarowski’s report stated that Schroder was arrested on Thursday, but the Hawks released a statement indicating the incident took place Friday. The team said it is in the process of gathering information.

“We are aware of an incident involving Dennis Schroder earlier this morning,” the statement read. “We are still gathering information as it pertains to the situation, and out of respect for the legal process, we will have no further comment at this time.”

Schroder, a first-round pick of the Hawks in 2013, had a breakout season last year. He averaged 17.9 points and 6.3 assists per game. He also led the Hawks by averaging 24.7 points in the postseason.
