Potential lockout impacted Davis' decision to turn pro

Posted Apr 12, 2010
With his left wrist still healing in a soft cast, North Carolina forward Ed Davis might be taking a risk by giving up his final two seasons of eligibility to turn pro. But after the school announced the sophomore’s decision Monday afternoon, Ed’s father, Terry, said there was a bigger concern on the table if the 6-feet-9 starter – who is still projected as a first-round pick -- didn’t go now: a possible NBA lockout in 2011.
