The Wizards assigned Davis to the G League's Capital City Go-Go on Friday.
Davis has played double-digit minutes only three times for the Wizards this season and hasn't seen the court at all on five occasions. The 2022 No. 10 overall pick has seen his playing time drop in back-to-back seasons after averaging 15.1 minutes per game as a rookie. Davis will likely play a major role for Captial City against College Park on Friday night.

Wizards' Johnny Davis: Shows promise off bench
Rotowire
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.
