Also, Davis’ streak of eight consecutive All-Star appearances came to an end this season, which was highlighted by his MVP performance in 2017 when he scored an All-Star Game record of 52 points as a member of the New Orleans Pelicans.
Davis has only played in 76 games in the last two seasons and averaged 22.5 points and 8.9 rebounds.
