Let go by Memphis The Grizzlies released Davis on Thursday, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.

Impact The 22-year-old was acquired by the Grizzlies in a three-team trade on Feb. 6, though he never joined the club and was released to create an open spot on the roster. The No. 10 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, Davis has yet to live up to the high expectations that surrounded him in college, averaging 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds across only 11.5 minutes per contest during his three-year stint with the Wizards. According to Charania, Davis is expected to garner some interest in free agency, and he could end up with a new club before the end of the season.

Muted role continues in loss Davis registered zero points (0-1 FG, 0-1 3Pt), one rebound and one assist over three minutes during Monday's 123-105 loss to the Thunder.

Impact Davins continues to play a limited role for the Wizards, logging fewer than 10 minutes for the 13th time this season, having appeared in only 20 total games.

Shows promise off bench Davis registered nine points (4-5 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, one assist and one steal across 18 minutes during Saturday's 118-98 loss to the Heat.

Impact Davis saw a sizable uptick in playing time, though one third of his points were scored during the last few minutes of the fourth quarter in garbage time. Even so, this performance was a step forward for the former Wisconsin Badger, who had really struggled to get much going through his first three appearances of the year entering Saturday's matchup. Davis is currently buried on the bench behind Jordan Poole, Corey Kispert and Kyshawn George, so it's likely too soon to consider rostering Davis in most leagues.

Efficient off bench Friday Davis recorded 14 points (5-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 4-4 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals across 27 minutes in Friday's 118-117 preseason win over the Knicks.

Impact Davis made his presence felt off the bench and was one of the Wizards' most efficient players in this win while also hitting the game-winning shot with only 6.1 seconds left in the fourth quarter. That said, Davis' heroics in the final preseason tune-up won't change his status in the rotation, and he's expected to either play a minimal role off the bench or start the campaign in the G League with the Capital City Go-Go.
