Davis, 28 -- obtained by the Magic in 2011 -- was under contract for $6.4 million this season and was set for $6.6 million next season.
"As we continue to chart what we believe is the best course of action for our organization, maximizing the development of our young players remains of critical importance," Magic General Manager Rob Hennigan said.

Orlando is in last place in the Southeast Division with a record of 16-40 -- third-worst in the NBA.
