Towson Forward John Davis Injured in Drive-By Shooting

Towson forward John Davis was injured Saturday in a drive-by shooting outside his family's home in Philadelphia, the school announced Sunday. 

"John stayed back in Philadelphia Saturday night for the dedication of the birth of his son, Bryson Hunter Davis Harris," Towson coach Pat Skerry said in a statement, per college basketball writer Patrick Stevens. "He was outside of his family home when a car drove by and opened fire. We are extremely thankful that John, and everybody else involved, was not seriously harmed. Our main focus right now is on the health of John Davis."

According to the statement, Davis was treated for the wound at a local hospital and later released.

"His long-term health is fine," Skerry told Jeff Goodman of ESPN. "We don't know when he'll be back, but our biggest concern right now is with his well-being and the fact that he's safe and he's OK."

The school said Davis' playing status for the rest of the season is undetermined. The senior forward had stayed in Philadelphia following Towson's 69-65 win over Drexel on Saturday.

Davis is averaging 11.8 points and a team-high 7.6 rebounds this season. Towson currently sits 17-10 and third in the Colonial Athletic Association standings.

No additional information was provided on the shooting.
