Four weeks to the date in which Ed Davis fractured his left fibula on Nov. 1, he was moved to the active list and made available to play on Friday against the Memphis Grizzlies.
He figures to shore up a backup big-man rotation that has relied heavily on 21-year-old Tony Bradley and natural forward Jeff Green in recent weeks.
“Ed brings us consistency of competitiveness, rebounding and selfishness,” Jazz coach Quin Snyder said. “More than anything, he’s going to do whatever the team needs to do to win.”
Snyder said Davis has stayed connected with the team during his injury; and he has been traveling with the group in recent weeks as he performs the rehab process.
