Overview
- Anthony Davis, who spoke to Washington media Monday, said he will suit up next fall and joked, “I love my money,” when asked about his commitment.
- He said he wants meetings with president Michael Winger and GM Will Dawkins to hear a specific plan to contend as soon as 2026–27 or 2027–28.
- The 33-year-old never debuted for the Wizards after a Jan. 8 left-hand ligament injury, though team updates in late March cleared him for light contact.
- Teammates said he lifted the locker room by mentoring young players despite not playing, crediting him with steady, hands-on guidance.
- Washington finished 17–65 and holds strong lottery odds, and his $58.5 million 2026–27 year plus a $62.8 million 2027–28 option set the leverage for talks.
