Davis said he will revisit contract talks after the season as Washington weighs a possible $275 million extension, reports said.
On Monday, Washington Wizards star Anthony Davis announced he will delay contract discussions until after the 2026-27 season, stating he aims to "go through the season" at a high level before evaluating his future with the front office.
The Wizards acquired the 33-year-old center from the Dallas Mavericks in February, though the team has not won more than 18 games in any of the past three seasons.
David Aldridge of The Athletic reported a four-year, $275 million max extension is "highly unlikely" given Davis's injury history, with the team already committed to a four-year, $212.8 million deal for Trae Young.
