Johnny Davis News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

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.
