Former Wisconsin guard participates in third straight summer league
The 2025 NBA Summer League officially starts on Friday, and former Wisconsin Badgers guard Johnny Davis will be participating for the third straight year with the Washington Wizards. Davis was selected 10th in the first round of the 2022 NBA draft by the Wizards, but he hasn’t found a consistent groove in the league. The 6-foot-4 guard appeared in 50 games in his second season in the NBA this past year, averaging 3 points and 1.4 rebounds while shooting 40.3% from the field. The 22-year-old will play alongside Washington’s three first-round picks from the 2024 NBA draft: big man Alexandre Sarr (No. 2), guard Bub Carrington (No. 14) and Kyshawn George (No. 24). With the Wizards coming off a rather disappointing 15-67 season, their sixth consecutive losing campaign, the summer league represents an opportunity for their young assets to get more comfortable with one another, and Davis will look to take advantage. The Wizards’ Summer League roster is out. 1st round picks Sarr, Carrington and George are on it plus Tristan Vukcevic and Johnny Davis. Also, former Kansas State NCAA Tournament star Markquis Nowell. pic.twitter.com/cIivgV0mYb — Chase Hughes (@chasedcsports) July 10, 2024
