Ex-NBA Player From Tarzana Pleads To Club Assault

TARZANA, CA — A former NBA player from Tarzana pleaded no contest to assaulting a man outside a West Hollywood club last year, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday.

Ronald Glen Davis, 33, entered his plea to one felony count of battery with serious bodily injury. He is required to complete 320 hours of community labor over the next year as part of his plea agreement, and also paid $104,479 in restitution, the press release said.

The battery count will be reduced to a misdemeanor when Davis is scheduled to be sentenced next year if he completes the community labor and doesn't break any other laws, the District Attorney's Office said.

Prosecutors said Davis threw a victim into a wall during an altercation outside of a club in the 600 block of Robertson Boulevard in West Hollywood on April 8, 2018.

The former NBA player, whose nickname is "Big Baby," previously played for the L.A. Clippers, the Boston Celtics and Orlando Magic. Davis was arrested in February 2018 for drug possession and distribution after police found 126 grams of marijuana and a briefcase with $92,000 inside his hotel room in Maryland.

The case was investigated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department West Hollywood Station.
