Johnny Davis News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

Back with NBA club Davis was recalled from the G League Capital City Go-Go on Saturday.

Impact Davis was sent to the G League to play in Friday's game against the Skyhawks and finished with 16 points, two rebounds and one assist over 28 minutes. He's averaging 7.3 minutes in 15 NBA appearances so far this season and will be available as needed for Saturday's matchup with the Nuggets.

Heads to G League The Wizards assigned Davis to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.

Impact Davis has played double-digit minutes only three times for the Wizards this season and hasn't seen the court at all on five occasions. The 2022 No. 10 overall pick has seen his playing time drop in back-to-back seasons after averaging 15.1 minutes per game as a rookie. Davis will likely play a major role for Captial City against College Park on Friday night.

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.

Impact Davis, who was making his second straight start, recorded a blocked shot and two fouls before checking out of the contest with 5:41 remaining in the first quarter due to the injury.

Iffy for Wednesday Davis is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Lakers with a left ankle sprain.

Impact This is a new injury for Davis, and that's bad news for a Washington team that has been hit hard by injuries. Davis has been seeing minutes in the teens for the Wizards in recent outings, so Jared Butler could see more action if Davis is unable to suit up.

Extended look to continue Davis is in the starting lineup for Tuesday's game against Houston.
