Raptors comment on alleged assault by Terence Davis

As ESPN's Tim Bontemps noted, Toronto Raptors guard Terence Davis was arrested in New York City on Tuesday after a 20-year-old woman said to be Davis' girlfriend alleged he hit her in the face following a verbal altercation. 

The woman added her son was standing next to her and fell when she was allegedly struck by Davis, and also that Davis broke her phone's screen. 

Per the Associated Press (h/t ESPN), the Raptors released an official statement on the matter on Friday:

"Incidents of this kind are addressed and managed by the league through the joint NBA-NBPA policy on domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse. The Toronto Raptors take these issues very seriously, and we 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 faces misdemeanor charges of assault, attempted assault, endangering the welfare of a child, criminal mischief, aggravated harassment and harassment. He has denied any wrongdoing through his attorney, Greg Esposito, and his next court date is scheduled for Dec. 11. 

Davis went undrafted in 2019 and signed with Toronto during the summer. He appeared in 72 regular-season games and averaged 7.5 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 1.6 assists en route to earning NBA All-Rookie Second Team honors.
