Davis (ankle) participated in Tuesday's practice and is expected to play Wednesday against the Nuggets, Erik Gundersen of The Columbian reports.

Analysis:

Davis missed a game over the weekend due to a bone bruise on his left ankle, but his return to practice would seem to suggest a multi-game absence is off the table. Though the forward comes off the bench, he's the Blazers' top rebounder on a per-minute basis, and that skill should allow him to continue cutting into the playing time of Meyers Leonard, Noah Vonleh, and Mason Plumlee.
