Wizards' Johnny Davis: Excellent off bench in loss
Rotowire
Davis produced 15 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-4 FT), four rebounds, two assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Sunday's 114-104 loss to the Raptors.
Davis spent most of the season with Capital City in the G League but has seen regular playing time recently, reaching the 15-minute mark in six of Washington's last eight contests. This was his best scoring effort of the season, and while Davis doesn't carry a lot of value in fantasy right now, he's certainly a player worth stashing or keeping close tabs on in dynasty leagues.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Hits double figures for first time
Rotowire
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.
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.

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

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

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Leads team with 23 points
Rotowire
Davis delivered 23 points (9-15 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and a rebound across 32 minutes in Sunday's loss to Mexico City.
Davis has improved consistently as the season progresses, and the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft has looked quite good in recent weeks. He has scored at least 17 points in four of his last five outings while reaching the 20-point mark twice in that span.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Efficient from field in loss

Davis posted 25 points (10-15 FG, 5-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, three assists and a steal across 33 minutes in Monday's loss to the Blue Coats.
Davis had one of his best scoring outputs of the season, and the rookie led Capital City in points in the defeat. He's been playing very well of late and has scored at least 15 points in each of his last three appearances.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Goes for 19 points Thursday
Rotowire
Davis posted 19 points (7-16 FG, 1-6 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds, four assists, two steals and a block across 35 minutes in Thursday's overtime win over Grand Rapids.
Davis was one of Capital City's best players in this win, and the 10th overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft continues to take steps in the right direction. It wouldn't be shocking if he starts seeing minutes at the NBA level sooner than later.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Struggles from field Friday
Rotowire
Davis posted 11 points (4-15 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, two assists and four steals across 38 minutes in Friday's 104-101 win over Grand Rapids.
Davis found a way to score in double digits despite struggling with his shot, as he needed 15 field goals just to reach that plateau. The 10th overall pick of the 2022 NBA Draft has a lot of work to do if he wants a shot in The Association, and he has been far from dominant in the G League, so he could remain with the Go-Go for most of the season.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Healthy again in G League
Rotowire
Davis (hip) has appeared in two of the G League Capital City Go-Go's last three games, averaging 5.5 points and 3.5 rebounds in 22 minutes between the two contests.
Davis picked up a hip injury early last week, but it didn't result in a long-term absence. The rookie first-round pick isn't a part of Washington's rotation and is expected to continue seeing most of his opportunities with the Go-Go while he struggles to adjust to the professional game. Even in his four appearances against lower-caliber G League competition, Davis' averages of 10.0 points (on 33.3 percent shooting from the field), 3.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.0 steals in 26.6 minutes don't inspire much confidence about his long-term outlook.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Dealing with hip injury
Rotowire
Davis is dealing with a right hip strain and is out for Monday's game against the Pelicans, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.
Davis stayed behind on the recent Milwaukee trip to receive treatment for the injury, and it seems the issue is a bit more severe than initially expected. Davis' absence shouldn't affect many fantasy rosters, however, as he's spent most of the time with the franchise's G League affiliate, the Capital City Go-Go.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Scores 11 in return to lineup
Rotowire
Davis posted 11 points (3-9 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 3-6 FT), two rebounds, two assists and a block across 30 minutes in Thursday's win over Motor City.
Davis was expected to make a quick leap to the NBA after being selected with the 10th overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, but the guard has had problems adjusting to the G League and has rarely seen time with the Wizards. He's expected to remain with Capital City until further notice, and even his performances with the Go-Go have not been eye-popping by any means.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Scores 18 points off bench
Rotowire
Davis had 18 points (6-12 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 4-4 FT), five rebounds, three steals and two assists across 33 minutes off the bench in Tuesday's win over Motor City.
Davis had many chances to play as a starter during the Showcase but was outplayed by Kris Dunn, so it makes sense to see him coming off the bench here. It remains to be seen if that'll be a permanent move or not, but Davis can use all the minutes he can get at the G League level, as he's still not ready to make the jump to the NBA.

Rotowire
Davis had 16 points (6-15 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, four assists and two steals across 38 minutes in Wednesday's win over Santa Cruz.
Davis has struggled to make a consistent impact in the G League despite being a lottery pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, but he had a good performance in this one. He needs to be more consistent on a game-to-game basis to have a shot at playing in the NBA sooner than later, though, and that hasn't happened yet.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Back in action in G League
Rotowire
Davis (COVID-19 protocols) suited up Sunday for the G League's Capital City Go-Go, playing 19 minutes and logging nine points (3-11 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), three rebounds and one block in the team's 112-105 loss to the Greensboro Swarm.
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.
