Wizards Say Anthony Davis’ Hand Improving, Set Reevaluation for End of March

Washington is prioritizing a cautious rehab plan with lottery positioning influencing any late-season decision.

Overview

  • Davis’ left hand was reevaluated in Los Angeles, with the team reporting positive progress but an unhealed volar plate.
  • He will continue conservative treatment and increase activity as tolerated, with another medical check at the end of March.
  • His availability for late-season games remains uncertain, despite GM Will Dawkins previously hoping for a return before April 12.
  • At 16-53 with a top-eight protected pick that would otherwise convey to the Knicks, the Wizards have little reason to accelerate his timeline.
  • The trade-deadline acquisition has not yet played for Washington, which has begun reintegrating veterans like Trae Young to build chemistry for next season.
