Following the announcement, Davis spoke to the media and he explained why he decided to come back to the Motor City.
“There’s a lot of things that go into that, but, one, the familiarity. … Every time wasn’t a good time, but ball here is fun. I enjoy this place, I really do. And it just feels right.”
