Wizards' Anthony Davis Expected to Sit Out Rest of Season
- On Thursday, the Washington Wizards acquired Anthony Davis from the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline, sending Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, and Marvin Bagley III to Dallas.
- Washington pushed to pair Davis with Trae Young to accelerate its rebuild and aim for next year's playoff contention.
- A ten-time All-Star, Davis has battled injuries, suffering ligament damage in early January, missing 13 games, and is expected to miss the rest of the season, NBA insider Chris Haynes reports.
- Washington knowingly gambled by acquiring Davis without a long-term commitment, as only one season is guaranteed, and he has signaled uncertainty about staying long-term.
- Next year, the Wizards will have a full season to assess if Anthony Davis and all-star guard Trae Young can form chemistry and integrate prospects like Alex Sarr and Tre Johnson, as the franchise evaluates this gamble.
