Darren Collison Accepts Plea Deal in Domestic Violence Case

Darren Collison pleaded guilty to one count of misdemeanor domestic violence on Friday.

According to a CSN Bay Area report, the Kings PG will avoid a jail sentence by working on community service projects.

Collison will also be facing a suspension by the NBA, per the CBA. Former Hornet forward Jeff Taylor pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor domestic assault charge back in 2014 and received a 24-game suspension.

Ready to put the incident behind him, the 29-year-old released the following statement:

“Words cannot describe the feelings and regret that I have been experiencing the last few months. My family and I found ourselves in such an unfamiliar situation and it has been a difficult few months. This is far from who I am as a person and not something I am proud of. I take full responsibility for my actions. I have apologized to my beautiful wife that I have known and loved since high school. I appreciate and am thankful for the love and understanding from my family, friends and supporters. Now it is time to put this behind us and move forward.”
