Trayce And Tayven Followed In Their Own Father’s Footsteps
Trayce and Tayven share the same mother but have different fathers. Trayce’s father is Elliott Lydell “Dale” Davis, a former professional basketball player.
Dale made his NBA debut with the Pacers as the 13th overall pick of the 1991 NBA Draft.
Over the course of nine seasons, he played with teams like Trail Blazers, Warriors, and Pistons.
However, he was unsuccessful in winning any NBA championship ring. And now his son is in the NBA, will he be able to do what his father couldn’t?
Trayce’s younger half-brother Tayven also followed in his father’s footsteps.
Tayven’s father, Ray, is a former collegiate football player. He played cornerback at Washington State and was a member of the Cougar’s 1998 Pac-10 Champion and Rose Bowl.
At present, Ray serves as the Chief of Police at the Center Grove Police Department.
