The 22-year-old was selected by Boston in the second round, 53rd overall, in the 2022 NBA Draft.

The 6'1" guard has gotten into just 15 games (at 5 minutes per night) this season, but he provided some serious air time on Friday night.

Overall, in three G League seasons, across 133 regular season games, Davis has averaged 20.1 points, 4.9 rebounds and 8.0 assists.

He also took part in the Rising Stars game at NBA All-Star Weekend this year.

He likely won't get any run during this year's playoffs, but he'll try to make enough of an impression through the summer and at training camp to get a spot on the Celtics bench for next season.
