Johnny Davis News, Rumors, Updates - Washington Wizards

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.

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

Impact Davis is quietly bursting onto the scene. Now resting at 20 points, he's upped his career high in scoring on back-to-back nights. The defensive intensity is there, and it's encouraging to see Davis operating aggressively on offense.

Hits double figures for first time Davis finished Tuesday's 117-97 win over the Pistons with 11 points (5-11 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and five rebounds in 19 minutes.

Impact The minute, point and rebound totals were all new career highs for Davis, who had largely been outside the Wizards' rotation for the first 54 games of his rookie season. While the team was without Kyle Kuzma (knee) on Tuesday, head coach Wes Unseld Jr. opted to get a look at the lottery pick out of Wisconsin, and Davis enjoyed some rare positive moments during his time on the court. Davis has often struggled with efficiency even against lesser G League competition this season, but he had built some confidence with the Capital City Go-Go prior to rejoining the NBA team, as he had averaged 18.3 points over his final six games with the affiliate. Kuzma could be back in action as soon as Friday in Cleveland, but Davis may have at least temporarily earned the final spot in Unseld's 10-man rotation.

Cleared to suit up Wizards head coach Wes Unseld said Davis (illness) will be available for Tuesday's game against the Pistons, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis has been upgraded from questionable to available despite battling an illness, but it's unclear if he'll garner any playing time. The rookie first-round pick recently finally broke out at the G League level after a hip injury derailed the start of his campaign and earned an elevation. However, he played just seven minutes and didn't attempt a shot during Sunday's blowout loss to Philadelphia.

Dealing with non-COVID illness Davis is questionable for Tuesday's matchup against the Pistons due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Davis finally broke out at the G League level after an injury-plagued start to his professional career and was recently elevated to the NBA squad. He played seven minutes during Sunday's blowout loss to Philadelphia, but he didn't attempt a shot and recorded just one assist in seven minutes. The rookie first-round pick is now dealing with an illness and could find himself on the sidelines once again.

Clear of injury report Davis (hip) isn't listed on the injury report for Monday's game against the Warriors.

Questionable Friday Davis (hip) is questionable for Friday's game versus the Knicks.

Impact Davis continues to deal with a right hip strain. However, the rookie guard hasn't logged double-digit minutes in any of his 10 appearances this season, so his injury status is unlikely to affect Washington's rotation.

Impact Davis was making his first appearance for the Go-Go or the NBA squad since Dec. 3 after being placed in the protocols. Despite his status as a rookie lottery pick, Davis doesn't look to be NBA ready and could continue to see regular action in the G League since the Wizards won't have a spot for him in their rotation.
