Davis, 32, was charged Tuesday with felony assault by means of force likely to produce bodily injury, spokesperson Ricardo Santiago said, following an April 8 altercation outside the West Hollywood nightclub Penthouse. The complainant, 27-year-old Daniel Diaz, alleges he suffered great bodily injury.

Davis, known as "Big Baby" during his eight-season NBA career, played for the Boston Celtics, Orlando Magic and LA Clippers from 2007 to 2015. He was a member of the Celtics team that won the NBA title in 2008.

He was slated to play in the BIG3 league this summer.

In February, Davis was arrested at a Hampton Inn in Aberdeen, Maryland, on drug possession and distribution charges. Police said they found 126 grams of marijuana and a briefcase containing $92,000 in cash inside Davis' room. Davis' attorney in that case said Davis maintains his innocence and looks forward to clearing his name in court.
