JOHNNY DAVIS NEWS

Clears injury report Davis isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Monday's matchup against Minnesota.

Impact Davis missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury, but it appears he's cleared the issue and will be available Monday. However, he's failed to play more than eight minutes in any of his seven appearances this season, so his availability shouldn't have a significant impact.

Ruled out Davis (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Celtics.

Impact Davis will miss a second straight game due to a groin injury. He hasn't been a rotational player for the Wizards this season, so his absence shouldn't have a significant impact.

NOVEMBER 27, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Sunday Davis (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game at Boston.

Impact Davis isn't a consistent rotation player. His presence won't affect fantasy.

NOVEMBER 26, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Davis (groin) is out for Friday's game against the Heat.

Impact Davis has been downgraded from out to questionable due to right groin soreness. Davis' next opportunity to play will be Sunday's game against the Celtics.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Labeled questionable Friday Davis is listed questionable for Friday's game versus the Heat due to right groin soreness.

Impact Davis has logged a combined 11 minutes over the past pair of games with the Wizards' backcourt banged up, but they've been largely uneventful. Even if he's cleared to play Friday, Davis is just a depth piece at this point.

Returns to Wizards The Wizards recalled Davis from the Capital City Go-Go of the G League on Thursday.

Impact Davis' stint in the G League was short, but he is expected to bounce back and forth between the Go-Go and Wizards throughout the season. Bradley Beal (illness) remains out for Thursday's game versus the Mavericks, but there is no guarantee Davis will see playing time.

NOVEMBER 10, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sent back to G League The Wizards assigned Davis to the Capital City Go-Go of the G League on Wednesday.

Impact Davis didn't play in Monday's game against the Hornets, despite being available. It is not a good sign for Davis' fantasy managers that he is not receiving playing time even with Bradley Beal (illness) out. The 2022 No. 10 pick should have more opportunities to develop in the G League.

NOVEMBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from G League Davis was recalled from the G League's Capital City Go-Go and will be available for Monday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Davis managed 13 points, three rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in his G League debut Saturday, but he'll rejoin the parent squad for Monday's game in Charlotte. It's unclear what kind of workload Davis will receive against the Hornets, but he still hasn't played more than eight minutes in a single NBA contest this season.

NOVEMBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Headed to G League Davis will join G League Captial City on Saturday for the team's season opener.

Impact Davis struggled throughout Summer League and the preseason and hasn't etched out a particularly large role early in his career, so the rookie will head to the G League in an attempt to iron things out. Depending on how things go, Davis could spend a decent amount of time with the Go-Go.

NOVEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sees garbage time minutes in loss Davis registered two points (1-3 FG) and one rebound over eight minutes during Sunday's 112-94 loss to the Celtics.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick was a DNP-CD in the Wizards' first three games, but he's now seen limited action in each of the last three contests. He's been aided by the fact that all three of those games were blowouts, however. As of now, Davis appears to remain on the outskirts of the regular rotation, and the impending return of Corey Kispert (ankle) won't help his chances of earning a larger role. Last week, coach Wes Unseld Jr. intimated that Davis could end up spending time in the G League with the Capital City Go-Go.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Potential move to G League Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Tuesday that Davis might be sent down to Washington's G League affiliate, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Davis has yet to play at all for the Wizards through three games this season. The 2022 No. 10 pick could certainly benefit from some extended playing time with the Capital City Go-Go to adjust to professional basketball.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Buried on bench to begin season Davis has yet to see the floor in any of the Wizards' first three regular-season games.

Impact The No. 10 overall pick in the 2022 Draft struggled mightily during Summer League and didn't look much better in the preseason, but it's still rather surprising that the Wizards are yet to give him a chance. Thus far, coach Wes Unseld Jr. has stuck to a tight, 10-man rotation with Delon Wright, Deni Avdija and Anthony Gill all getting minutes over Davis. Washington is also without Corey Kispert (ankle), who will likely be ahead of Davis on the depth chart when he returns from injury sometime next month. For now, Davis should not be held in most fantasy leagues, though it's obviously far too early to write him off as a bust.

Avoids injury report Davis (knee) isn't listed on the Wizards' injury report ahead of Monday's preseason game in Charlotte.

Impact Davis was recently sidelined for consecutive practices due to a knee injury, but he was back on the court Sunday and appears in line to suit up Monday. The rookie first-round pick is expected to see an increased role off the bench to begin his NBA career with fellow wing Corey Kispert (ankle) expected to miss the beginning of the regular season.

Participates in practice Sunday Davis (knee) returned to practice Sunday, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Davis was sidelined for practice Thursday and Friday due to a knee issue, and while the extent of Davis' production and the activity level of Sunday's practice remain unclear, it's a positive sign to see the rookie back in the mix. If fully healthy, Davis could see an increased workload to start the campaign with Corey Kispert (ankle) sidelined for 4-to-6 weeks and with Bradley Beal (COVID-19) in the health and safety protocols.

OCTOBER 9, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Wizards coach Wes Unseld Jr. said that Davis (knee) was held out of practice Friday, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Davis has now missed two straight days of practice due to right knee tendinitis. The 2022 No.1 pick has struggled so far in preseason but could have an opportunity to turn that around Monday versus the Hornets, provided can give it a go.

OCTOBER 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Thursday Davis missed Thursday's practice session due to knee tendinitis, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Davis hasn't been particularly effective over his first two preseason matchups, totaling just six points, seven rebounds, four assists and four steals in 47 minutes. It's not yet clear whether his knee injury will impact his availability for Monday's exhibition game in Charlotte.

OCTOBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in Wizards debut Davis posted four points (0-5 FG, 4-4 FT), three assists, three steals and two rebounds in 22 minutes in Friday's preseason contest with the Warriors in Japan.

Impact Davis was unable to convert on any of his field goals Friday. However, he was able to be disruptive on defense and get to the free throw line. Ultimately, Davis will take time to adjust to the NBA and will likely come off the bench to start the season.

NBA Summer League Tracker: Checking in on the lottery picks

How are the top rookies in the Class of 2022 performing at Summer League? Here's a look at all of this year's lottery picks.

JULY 11, 2022

Scores 11 points in 24 minutes Davis finished Sunday's Las Vegas Summer League game against the Suns with 11 points (4-11 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, an assist and a steal.

Impact After a rough debut Saturday night against Detroit (six points, 1-11 FG), Davis was able to bounce back with a more encouraging effort in what turned into a blowout win for Washington. Davis has plenty of upside as a scorer, rebounder and defender, but he'll likely be a fringe target in most fantasy leagues to begin the year. However, Davis should have a chance to earn a sizable role in Washington, so he could emerge as a decent points/rebounds/steals target if he's able to avoid some of the usual rookie-guard pitfalls.

JULY 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Struggles in Summer League debut Davis finished with six points (1-9 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds and two assists in 29 minutes during Saturday's 105-99 Las Vegas Summer League loss to the Pistons.

Impact Davis was selected with the No. 10 overall pick in last month's draft, and he's expected to compete for the starting point guard spot with Monte Morris. Saturday marked Davis' first action as a professional. He struggled shooting the ball and committed five fouls. On a positive note, the rookie made his way to the free-throw line for four attempts and kept his turnovers (two) low. The Wisconsin product will aim to improve in the Wizards' next exhibition, which is Sunday against the Suns.
