Wisconsin Herd Acquire Johnny Davis’ Returning G League Rights From Westchester

The deal gives Milwaukee’s affiliate first call on the former Badger in the G League as he enters his final season of two-way eligibility.

Overview

  • The Herd obtained Davis’ returning player rights from the Westchester Knicks in exchange for the rights to Diego Bernard and Jalen Lewis, a 2026 G League Player Draft first-round pick, and a 2026 G League International Draft pick.
  • Holding returning rights does not place Davis on the Herd roster, and he remains free to sign an NBA contract or play overseas.
  • Davis was the No. 10 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft and logged 112 NBA games with Washington, averaging 3.5 points and 1.6 rebounds.
  • He has 47 G League appearances at 11.9 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 1.8 assists per game, including eight games with Westchester after a brief Memphis stint.
  • The move continues the Herd’s Wisconsin ties after acquiring former Badger Aleem Ford earlier this offseason.
