Johnny Davis News, Rumors, Updates - Memphis Grizzlies

Back in action Tuesday Davis (calf) is set to return Tuesday against Orlando.

Impact Davis will return from a calf strain that has sidelined him since Dec. 1. Delon Wright (knee) is returning to action Tuesday as well, so Davis will have to earn his minutes to gain fantasy relevance. Landry Shamet was scoreless in his return from a rib injury Friday, so there is room for Davis to ascend in the rotation if the second-year guard can capitalize. His 47.5/33.3/80.0 percent shooting slash through 14 appearances is palatable efficiency, but Davis hasn't been able to establish any rhythm, and the sample size of 40 total shots thus far is extremely small.

Impact Davis will miss an eighth straight game due to a calf injury. It's unclear when he'll be cleared to suit up again, but his next chance will arrive Tuesday versus Orlando.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Sunday Davis (calf) is out for Sunday's game against the Suns.

Impact Davis has struggled to recover from a calf injury and is set to miss a fifth straight contest, though he doesn't have a significant role off the bench when healthy, so his absence is not going to affect many fantasy lineups. His next chance to play will come against the Kings on Monday.

DECEMBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still sidelined Friday Davis (calf) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Davis was diagnosed with a left calf strain last week and is considered week-to-week. It's not yet clear when he'll be able to return, but his next chance to do so will be Sunday against the Suns.

DECEMBER 14, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Wednesday Davis (calf) will not play Wednesday against New Orleans.

Impact Davis is one week removed from a diagnosis of being week-to-week with a left calf strain. Friday against Indiana marks his next opportunity to return, although he would likely be ahead of schedule if able to return this week.

DECEMBER 12, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Considered week-to-week The Wizards announced Wednesday that Davis has been diagnosed with a left calf strain and will be evaluated weekly.

Impact Davis missed time earlier in the season due to an elbow issue and is now dealing with a calf injury that will sideline him for multiple games. The 2022 lottery pick has struggled to stay healthy in his first two seasons and hasn't produced even when he's been on the court.

DECEMBER 6, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with calf issue Davis (calf) is questionable to play Wednesday against Philadelphia, Chase Hughes of the Monumental Sports Network reports.

Impact Davis has dealt with nagging elbow issues throughout the season, but a calf issue could sideline him Wednesday. Davis has appeared in Washington's last nine games, but he's averaging just 7.9 minutes per night.

DECEMBER 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available Coach Wes Unseld said Davis (elbow) will be available for Modnay's game against the Bucks, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis was listed as questionable due to a left elbow sprain, which he originally suffered in mid-October but resurfaced Sunday. Even though he'll be available, the second-year wing isn't guaranteed any playing time. Davis is averaging just 9.3 minutes per game across seven appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Monday Davis (elbow) is questionable to play Monday against Milwaukee.

Impact Davis initially suffered a left elbow sprain in mid-October, and the same injury resurfaced Sunday. Davis dealt with elbow issues throughout October, but he's been an infrequent member of Washington's rotation due to healthy scratches as well. He is averaging just 9.3 minutes per game across seven appearances this season.

NOVEMBER 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not part of rotation Davis hasn't received any playing time in three straight games.

Impact Davis made his season debut Oct. 30 versus the Celtics after missing the first two games of the season due to an elbow injury. He appeared in five straight games, averaging 5.4 points and 1.4 rebounds in 11.2 minutes, but he hasn't seen any playing time since. Even with the Wizards reeling, there doesn't appear to be a clear path to playing time for the 2022 lottery pick.

NOVEMBER 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Limited role in season debut Davis (elbow) recorded five points (2-4 FG, 1-2 FT) and two rebounds across 16 minutes Monday in the Wizards' 126-107 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The 2022 lottery pick was cleared to make his season debut Monday after missing the Wizards' first two games while recovering from a left elbow sprain. Given that the Wizards aren't expected to vie for a playoff spot in 2023-24, Davis should get the opportunity to prove he belongs in the team's long-term nucleus after he struggled to distinguish himself as a rookie. However, Davis could struggle to earn a dramatic increase in playing time from what he received Monday while all of Jordan Poole, Bilal Coulibaly, Corey Kispert and Deni Avdija are available to absorb minutes on the wing.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Third-year option exercised The Wizards exercised Davis' third-year team option Monday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis' rookie season with Washington was marred by nagging injuries and ineffectiveness, but the 21-year-old will be on the books through the 2024-25 campaign as he looks to prove he belongs in the Wizards' long-term plans. He missed the first two games of this season due to a left elbow sprain, but Davis has been removed from the injury report ahead of Monday's game against the Celtics.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not on injury report Davis (elbow) isn't on the injury report for Monday's game against the Celtics.

Impact Davis missed the first two games of the year due to a left elbow sprain, but he'll be able to make his season debut Monday. He averaged 5.8 points and 2.3 rebounds in 15.1 minutes per game during his first professional season but impressed during Summer League play this year.

OCTOBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Remains out Saturday Davis (elbow) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Davis continues to deal with a left elbow sprain that he sustained in mid-October, and he'll be unavailable for a second consecutive game to begin the regular season. Corey Kispert will likely see increased run again Saturday.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Inactive Wednesday Davis (elbow) is out for Wednesday's opener versus Indiana.

Impact Davis is eight days removed from spraining his elbow, putting him roughly halfway through his expected recovery window. Corey Kispert is likely the main, fantasy-relevant beneficiary in Davis' absence.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sprains elbow, out 1-to-2 weeks The Wizards announced Davis will be out for 1-to-2 weeks after suffering a left elbow sprain at practice Monday.

Impact Davis averaged 11.0 points, 5.5 rebounds and 2.5 assists in his first two preseason contests before going down with the injury. After a rough rookie campaign for the 2022 lottery selection, Davis might have found himself on the outside looking in for a rotation spot entering the 2023-24 campaign, and the elbow injury won't help his cause. Davis will miss the Wizards' remaining two preseason games and looks to be at high risk of sitting out the Oct. 25 season opener at Indiana.

OCTOBER 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Suffers elbow sprain Davis will miss 1-2 weeks after suffering a left elbow sprain at practice Monday.

Impact Despite the youth of Washington's roster, Davis hasn't carved out a relevant role in two preseason appearances. Marking a continuation of durability issues for the 2022 lottery pick, Davis could fall behind Ryan Rollins or Jared Butler.
