Davis is expected to sign with the D-League's Delaware 87ers, Shams Charania of Yahoo! Sports reports.

Analysis:

The 36-year-old announced in January that he was looking to latch on with a D-League team in an attempt to make his way back to the NBA, and it appears he's now ready to follow through with that plan. Davis, a two-time All-Star, last appeared in the league with the Knicks during the 2011-12 campaign, but had his career derailed after suffering a complete tear of his right ACL, MCL, and patellar tendon in the playoffs that season. With four full years to recuperate and get back in playing shape, Davis will look to make his return to professional basketball with Delaware on Friday in their tilt with the Iowa Energy.
