Career

HIGHLIGHTS

2019–20 After being traded to the
Lakers before the season, Davis
helped Los Angeles open the year
17–2, which tied for the best 19-game
start in franchise history. In his
fourth game with the team, Davis had
40 points and 20 rebounds. He was
just the fourth Laker in 50 years to
achieve those marks.
2017–18 Davis averaged a career-
best 28.1 points per game for the
Pelicans and led the league in blocks
per game for the third time in his
career. He also led New Orleans to
just its second playoff series victory
in franchise history with a sweep of
the Trail Blazers.
2011—12 After one season at
Kentucky, in which he led the Wildcats
to a 38–2 record and the NCAA title,
Davis was the first overall pick of the
2012 draft by New Orleans. In his first
season, he scored 13.5 points per
game and finished second in the
FORWARD
voting for Rookie of the Year.
