Anthony Davis Stays Put as Wizards Shut Down Trade Talks

Anthony Davis is staying with the Washington Wizards as the team has shut down trade talks.

The Wizards were reportedly fielding offers for Davis, but according to Marc Spears, the team is not interested in dealing their superstar big man.

Davis was acquired by the Wizards in a blockbuster deal with the Dallas Mavericks before last year's trade deadline, but he was unable to take the court in Washington due to a hand injury.

The Wizards finished the 2025-26 NBA season with a league-worst record of 17-65.

The team has a lot to look forward to, including Davis' impending debut, the signing of All-Star point guard Trae Young, and the drafting of highly-touted prospect AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Through 20 games with the Mavericks last season, Davis averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game.

The Wizards' decision to keep Davis is a significant one, given his talent and the team's investment in him.

Davis will look to make a strong debut with the Wizards after missing the previous season due to injury.

The team's fans are eagerly awaiting his first game in a Wizards uniform.

The 2026-27 NBA season is expected to be a exciting one for the Wizards, with Davis and Young leading the charge.
