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.
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.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Efficient off bench Friday
Rotowire
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.
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.
Davis is starting Friday's game against the Bulls.
Davis will draw a chance to start due to the absence of Jordan Poole (illness). The Wisconsin product has put up 21 and six points, respectively, in his last two chances to start.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Won't return Sunday
Rotowire
Davis won't return to Sunday's game against the Raptors due to a left hip contusion.
Davis, who was making his second straight start, recorded a blocked shot and two fouls before checking out of the contest with 5:41 remaining in the first quarter due to the injury. The Wizards had already ruled out seven players due to injury heading into Sunday's contest, so Davis' absence for the rest of the game will test the team's depth.
