Razorbacks’ Davonte Davis Back After Taking a Few Days Off

As Hogs get ready for Saturday's game, junior guard announces he's back

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Davonte Davis resolved whatever was going on in about a week.

After not playing since the first half of the Maui Invitational against San Diego State, it was announced when the team returned the junior guard from Jacksonville was taking a break.

To his credit, Arkansas coach Eric Musselman didn't make a whole lot of it. Coaching in the professional ranks, he dealt with that kind of stuff all time.

Whatever things were didn't last that long.

Davis released a statement through Arkansas Communications on Wednesday afternoon:

“I am excited to be back with my teammates and coaches. I want to thank my family, our fans, the Razorback basketball program and especially Coach Muss for the support shown to me this last week. I look forward to continuing my development as a leader and basketball player as this team focuses on our goals for this season.”

So much for those days of talking about that.
