Davis (shoulder) could be "close to returning" ESPN TrueHoop reports. Consider him a game-time decision over the coming days. "He's strengthening his shoulder and doing a lot of ice and stim... He's working around the clock," coach Monty Williams said. "He's feeling better every day, I'm sure. We thought we were close (to seeing Davis come back), but we just don't want to put a timetable on him, because that puts pressure on guys, when you start telling them when they should be back. We know AD and where his heart is. If he can play, he'll be the first to tell us."

Analysis:

Davis is close to hitting the 10-day mark of his initial 1-2 week timetable. It's still unclear if this news puts him on track to return for Wednesday's game against the Pistons, but this is a positive sign nonetheless. Davis is worth holding onto in virtually all leagues in light of this update.
