Wizards GM Says Anthony Davis Expected To Play This Season

A doctor evaluation at the All-Star break will set a return plan following his Jan. 8 hand injury.

Overview

  • General manager Will Dawkins said Davis will continue rehabbing in Dallas with coordination from Washington’s medical staff.
  • Dawkins pointed to an All-Star break appointment as the key checkpoint to gauge progress and establish a formal timeline.
  • Recent reports from unnamed league sources suggested a season shutdown, a stance at odds with the team’s public expectation of a return.
  • Washington acquired Davis from Dallas in an eight-player deal; the Mavericks previously said no surgery was needed with an initial six-week recovery estimate.
  • The Wizards also plan to reassess Trae Young during the break as he works back from knee and quad injuries, with the team currently 14-37.
