Davis suffered a corneal abrasion in March after being stung during a game against Golden State. He wore goggles in practice on Tuesday but plans to remove them for Wednesday's game.
“I wore safety glasses. For three years when I was younger. I just don't want it, to be honest. he said. “Obviously the doctors said I didn’t need to do that. Well, if it gets to a point where a doctor has to prescribe it [wear them] …if it gets to the point where my eye doctor tells me I have to wear them, then of course I will. But I was given permission to go out and play without them.”
