The team said he was questionable to return, but Davis was later determined to be out for the game. Davis was able to walk off the floor on his own, though he was limping.
ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski says Davis will undergo an MRI on his knee to determine the extent of his injury.

The sixth-year pro had two points and a rebound in five minutes. He entered the game with crazy stats on the season, averaging nearly 32 points and 17 rebounds per game over his first three contests.
Davis has dealt with multiple injuries throughout his career. Last season was the first time he played more than 68 games in a season.
