Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis reportedly was arrested Tuesday night and charged with third-degree assault and criminal mischief.
Davis, 23, reportedly had a verbal dispute with his former girlfriend that escalated to a terrifying place. The guard allegedly hit her in the face and broke her phone, according to the New York Police Department’s statement.

It is a disturbing situation, and Davis will likely be facing discipline not only from law enforcement but from the NBA as well.
In NY, 3rd degree assault is a misdemeanor punishable by up to 1 year in jail.
Criminal mischief can result in a jail term of up to 1 year, probation up to 3 years, a fine, and restitution.

This past season, Davis showed promise for the Raptors. He was named to the NBA’s All-Rookie Second Team.
The 23-year-old averaged 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game this past year.
