Officers responded to a call around 8:30 p.m. ET Tuesday night following reports of an assault at a Manhattan hotel. Det. Sophia Mason of the New York Police Department told USA Today that Davis got into a verbal altercation with a woman who described herself as Davis' girlfriend before he allegedly hit her in the face and caused a "substantial amount of pain" to one of her eyes. Davis also allegedly grabbed the woman's phone and broke the screen.
The Raptors are aware of the arrest and in the process of gathering more information, according to The Athletic's Blake Murphy. (UPDATE: The Raptors said in a statement Friday that they "take these issues very seriously" and "will fully cooperate and support the league in its investigation of this matter as we work to determine the appropriate next steps for our team."
Davis, who signed with Toronto last year as an undrafted free agent, could be fined and/or suspended by the NBA in addition to criminal charges. Under the league's current collective bargaining agreement, commissioner Adam Silver can punish those who violate the domestic violence policy.
"Such an act may include physical assault or battery, sexual assault, stalking, harassment, or other forms of physical or psychological abuse," the policy reads. "It may also include behavior that intimidates, manipulates, humiliates, isolates, frightens, terrorizes, coerces, threatens, injures, or places another person in fear of bodily harm."
Davis' next court date is in December.
