Former NBA big man Ed Davis is signing with a Chinese team. He has reached an agreement with the Xinjiang Flying Tigers, according to Sportando.
Noted for his rebounding ability, Davis had a lengthy NBA career. The 13th pick in the 2010 draft, Davis appeared in 722 regular-season games, including 106 starts. He averaged 5.9 points and 6.4 rebounds in 19.1 minutes per game with stops in Toronto, Memphis, the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland, Brooklyn, Utah, Minnesota and Cleveland. He also made a combined 33 postseason appearances with three different clubs.
Most recently, he appeared in 31 regular season contests with the Cavaliers during the 2021/22 season. He was unable to receive an NBA contract last season despite his desire to remain in the league.
Davis had a stint in Puerto Ric0 with the Guaynabo Mets last season, averaging more than 13 points and 16 rebounds per contest.
