Anthony Davis joined the Washington Wizards via a February 2026 three-team deal from the Dallas Mavericks, where he appeared in limited games amid recurring injuries. Wizards general manager Will Dawkins has publicly affirmed the organization's desire to retain the 33-year-old All-Star, with contract extension discussions scheduled for mid-August around his eligibility for a four-year maximum deal. The team is positioning Davis alongside Trae Young and top draft pick AJ Dybantsa as part of its core, reducing immediate trade pressure despite his injury history and age. Trader consensus at 93.8% for him remaining through the 2026-27 season reflects this recent acquisition, official retention signals, and absence of active suitor momentum before the campaign begins.
