The Lakers lost to the Suns by a score of 115-105.
Davis, 28, put up 22 points and 14 rebounds in 38 minutes of action. Howard, on the other hand, went scoreless in nine minutes of play.
In addition to the dramatic altercation with Howard and Davis, Lakers guard Rajon Rondo was caught pointing a finger gun at a fan in the crowd.
The Lakers have a ton of work cut out for themselves. The team has yet to win a contest with the new-look roster.
The Lakers take on the Memphis Grizzlies on Sunday.
