Kendric Davis took the NBL by storm in his debut season with the Adelaide 36ers, establishing himself as one of the league's premier guards. Averaging 25.6 points and 8.0 assists per game, Davis not only led the 36ers in both categories but also ranked among the top performers league-wide. His standout performances included a 39-point, seven-assist game against the Tasmania JackJumpers and a 37-point, 11-assist effort versus the Perth Wildcats.
Despite Adelaide's efforts to retain him, Davis declined a substantial offer from the 36ers, opting instead to sign with the Sydney Kings for the 2025–26 season . In Sydney, he'll join forces with veteran guard Matthew Dellavedova, forming a dynamic backcourt that blends Davis's scoring prowess with Dellavedova's experience and defensive tenacity.
Davis's move to the Kings aligns with his ambition to reach the NBA. The Kings' strong developmental program and competitive environment provide an ideal platform for Davis to showcase his talents on a larger stage. With his eyes set on the NBA, Davis aims to leverage his time in Sydney to further elevate his game and attract attention from scouts across the Pacific.
As the new season approaches, all eyes will be on Davis to see how he adapts to his new team and continues his ascent in professional basketball.
