The video shows Davis walking quickly up behind Howard as they come off the floor. Davis hunched over Howard after he sat down. When Howard stood, Davis grabbed his arms. They had to be separated by staff and teammates.

It’s not clear what got Davis so hot who why either player reacted the way they did. LA was trailing the Suns at the time.
The Lakers have challenge this season when it comes to pursuing a title. They have a Big 3 in LeBron James, Russell Westbrook and Davis but an aging bench.
The Suns had a 57-44 lead at halftime.
