The league has announced that Phoenix Suns All-Star guard Devin Booker, whom Davis' Lakers will be facing in their first knockout round of the NBA's inaugural In-Season Tournament.

Davis was joined among the also-rans by Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star shooting guard Anthony Edwards, Los Angeles Clippers All-Star forward Paul George, ex-Laker Brandon Ingram and Portland Trail Blazers combo forward Jerami Gant.

In his three contests during the allocated window, Davis averaged 22.7 points on 63.6% shooting from the field and  1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks.
