Overview
- Anthony Davis, who was re-evaluated Tuesday, was cleared for light contact and is healing on schedule, the team said.
- Davis has been out since Jan. 8 with a groin issue and ligament damage in his left hand after a Feb. 4 trade from Dallas to Washington.
- He is not officially shut down, leaving only a seven-game window for any return before the regular season ends.
- His long-term deal that includes a player option raises the stakes for how Washington manages his ramp-up and summer plans.
- Light-contact work could help him build timing with new teammates such as Trae Young and rookie center Alex Sarr even if he does not appear in games.
