The only thing that will hinder his career. It sucks that Davis is injury prone because he is fun to watch. I know that kind of fall would hurt almost anybody, but Davis is constantly getting hurt this early in his career.
I'm honestly not sure how much of that was the Dubs tanking and how much was him legitimately spraining his ankle over and over again. I know they sat him down one offseason and basically did a bunch of S&C and corrective stuff and it seems like he's been fine since then.
I remember Davis having an hand related injury...last year? And I don't know how this particular injury can be called nagging or "prove" that he's injury prone. I'm betting it's hard to walk away from this without getting hurt to a degree.

I'm not a doctor, I don't even play one on the internet, it's just the missing a week here and there with him that makes me nervous. I don't know what it is, maybe the unibrow doesn't absorb shock as effectively as eyebrows, but it would be seriously concerning to me if I were a Pellies fan.

Knight got a hell of a raw deal. To being the top scorer on a playoff team to being a backup on a lottery team.
There is a good chance that the Pelicans will pass the Suns. OKC should be able to end up with a better record than them.
