Anthony Davis to Decide on Washington Future After 2026-27 Season
The NBA star announced he will evaluate his options at season’s end, potentially prompting a trade if he chooses to leave.
By Felo News Desk · Published
Anthony Davis told reporters at the Wizards’ media day on Monday that he will decide after the 2026-27 season whether he wants to remain with Washington. The 33‑year‑old center, who joined the team in February, has a player option for 2027-28, meaning this could be his final year in the capital.
Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said Davis is “focused and ready to start the season,” and that the team is in a position to trade him for significant assets if he opts to leave. Washington has also acquired Trae Young and drafted AJ Dybantsa with the No. 1 overall pick, adding to the roster’s complexity as the franchise seeks to improve after three seasons of fewer than 18 wins.
With his recent injury and the team’s uncertain title prospects, Davis’s decision will be closely watched by both the Wizards’ front office and NBA fans.
