Rule 10-6-7 says something to the effect that "a dribbler shall not dribble between two opponents or between an opponent and the sidline unless there's sufficient space."

I interpret that as "unless the defense does something else, it's not a foul on the defense if contact puts the dribbler at a disadvantage."

In any event, it's not a travel.
