Speaking to HoopsHype, the shooting guard had the following to say.

"I think only a few people know this: I turned down a good amount of money to play overseas in Greece, in the EuroLeague," stated Davis. "I said no, as I want to get back in the NBA, and to stay in, you have to play in the G League."

As may be recalled, Olympiacos Piraeus was interested in signing the player. However, a deal did not materialize because of Davis's NBA ambitions.

For the American guard, the decision was straightforward but not easy to make.

"It wasn't hard, but it was a tough decision. Anytime there's money on the table, you never want to leave it out because you never know what happens... Sometimes, you gotta make sacrifices, and that's what I try to do: make a sacrifice to get somewhere where I feel like I belong; I feel like I'm an NBA player," explained the guard.

Moreover, his family concerns also weighed against a possible move overseas.

"I didn't want to take my family overseas and have my wife in a different country with a newborn," Davis said, mentioning his child. "So, I just made sacrifices for my family and decided I'd stay in the United States."

At the moment, the shooting guard is sidelined with a complete rupture of his Achilles but aims to return before the end of the year: "I'm hoping for a complete and fast recovery to return for training camp in August or September."

With the Trail Blazers affiliate, Davis is averaging 15.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game.
