Glen Davis Rumors & News

It took him six seasons, two teams, and three coaches, but in 2012/13, Glen Davis finally found a situation in which he could become a go-to offensive player. The LSU product opened the Orlando Magic's season as the team's co-captain, sharing those duties with Jameer Nelson, and celebrated his new on- and off-court responsibilities by jacking shots with a level of recklessness not often seen in bigs.

Otis Smith's tenure as the Orlando Magic's president of basketball operations ended in May when he and the team mutually agreed to part ways, but Bill Simmons' list of the league's worst contracts, posted Friday at Grantland, serves as a reminder of some of Smith's missteps. Among the contracts Simmons selected, Smith is responsible for those of Jason Richardson, Glen Davis, and Rashard Lewis. He later traded Lewis for Gilbert Arenas, another player on Simmons' list, on whom he would ultimately use the amnesty provision to waive after a half-season with the Magic. He also traded for H...

When word Kyle O'Quinn began his rookie season, he didn't have much of a role. The Orlando Magic used the 49th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft on the big man from Norfolk State, but had Glen Davis, Nikola Vucevic, Gustavo Ayón, fellow rookie Andrew Nicholson, and Josh McRoberts ahead of him on the depth chart. As a result, O'Quinn only played in low-leverage situations, with the game's outcome not in doubt. Fast forward to the end of January and O'Quinn secured a larger role with the club. An injury to Davis and McRoberts' inconsistency gave him an opportunity, and the opportunity ...

The playoffs are no longer a realistic target for the Orlando Magic, who've lost 21 of their last 23 games to dip into a tie for 13th place in the Eastern Conference. With the postseason out of reach for their team, Magic fans have turned their eyes toward NBA Draft prospects, as well as the state of Orlando's current crop of youngsters. The idea now is to focus on the Magic's future core. Andrew Nicholson, the 19th overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft, is one such core piece. The four-year player from St. Bonaventure came highly touted for his refined low-post offense and reliable jump...

The Orlando Magic were 10-point underdogs against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, with starters Glen Davis, Arron Afflalo, and Jameer Nelson all missing the game due to injury. This would give the young players for the Magic significant playing time, and Maurice Harkless, starting for Afflalo, took advantage with the best game of his rookie season, scoring 19 points on 7-of-16 shooting along with 14 rebounds, 4 steals, 1 block, and 0 turnovers in 42 minutes. But the Bucks prevailed by a 107-98 final. Orlando was impressive on the boards, outrebounding Milwaukee 52-42, including grabbi...

The Orlando Magic released an update on the status of injured big man Glen Davis, who broke his left foot in Wednesday's loss to the New York Knicks. He was scheduled to undergo surgery Friday. "Glen Davis' surgery was successful and the procedure to repair his left foot fracture of the 5th metatarsal was as expected," the team said in a statement. "The procedure entailed inserting a screw to stabilize the injury and help in the healing process." The team announced Thursday that it expects Davis to miss 8-to-12 weeks. Such a timeline gives him a small window to return in the 2012/13 ...
