Starting in return to action Davis (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against Wichita State, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact After being made unavailable for Sunday's contest versus Houston due to an ankle injury, Davis has apparently made enough progress to the point where he's able to start against the Shockers. The 6-foot guard is currently averaging 19.4 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds on 34.7 minutes per game this season, but there's still a chance that he could have his minutes limited in his first game back.

Day-to-day Davis (ankle) is listed as day-to-day ahead of Thursday's matchup with Wichita State, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Davis, who missed Sunday's game against Houston with an ankle injury, will likely come down to a game-time decision against Houston. The 6-foot senior has started in 26 games this season, logging 21.3 points, 3.7 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 2.2 steals on 34.3 minutes per game. If Davis is ultimately unable to go on Thursday, his next opportunity to return would come against Cincinatti on Sunday.

Won't play Sunday Davis (ankle) was spotted in a walking boot pregame and will not suit up Sunday versus Houston, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Davis was initially tabbed as a game-time decision, though doubtful, to play Sunday after he sustained an ankle injury Thursday against UCF. The Tigers' leading scorer was able to participate in warmups ahead of Sunday's contest, so it appears his use of a walking boot could be more of a precautionary measure than anything. Either way, Memphis will opt to avoid putting any additional strain on Davis' injured ankle Sunday. His next chance to play will come Thursday at Wichita State.

Not in starting lineup Davis (ankle) is not part of the starting five Sunday against Houston, Parth Upadhyaya of the Daily Memphian reports.
Impact Davis was considered a game-time call for the contest and was even spotted warming up, though his absence from the starting five is the greatest sign. Still, it's possible he'll be available off the bench for the important AAC matchup.

Warming up Sunday Davis (ankle) is warming up Sunday, according to Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Impact Davis warming up indicates he could participate in Memphis' game Sunday at Houston. However, Munz did say he would be "shocked" if Davis was to play after being expected to be yet confirmed as a game-time decision before Sunday's game. Memphis will have approximately one more hour to make a decision.

Won't return Thursday Davis will not return to Thursday's game versus UCF after suffering an apparent ankle injury in the first half, Jason Munz of The Memphis Commercial Appeal reports.
Impact Davis hit the floor hard following a play and immediately grabbed at his right ankle and needed help getting off the floor. The 6-0 senior led all Memphis scorers with 10 points at the half and would eventually return to the bench area with crutches. The significance of his injury will not be known until later and it couldn't have come at a more inopportune time with the Tigers set to face No. 2 Houston on Sunday. A clearer timeline for a potential return should be available once an official prognosis is given.
