The story was first reported by the New York Post and ABC 7 New York.

The Raptors have yet to release a public statement but are reportedly looking into the matter, according to multiple reports.

The 23-year-old Davis is coming off his rookie season with the Raptors. He averaged 7.5 points on 45.6% shooting and was named to the NBA's All-Rookie second team.

Davis was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Raptors following one impressive showing at the Los Angeles Summer League with the Denver Nuggets.

He is set to make $1.5 million next season, though the contract is not guaranteed.
