The Washington Wizards<\/a> appear to be prioritizing asset management above all with Anthony Davis<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Washington is expected to keep their 10-time All-Star big man Davis into next season, Sean Deveney of Heavy.com reported on Tuesday<\/a>. Deveney notes that the hope is for Davis to be able to prove that he is healthy and to rebuild his value before the trade deadline next year.<\/p>\n

Davis, 33, landed with the Wizards this past February as part of a seven-player trade with the Dallas Mavericks<\/a>. But Davis did not end up playing in a single game for Washington this season, leading to questions about what the long-term plan is for the former No. 1 overall pick.<\/p>\n

Indeed, Davis seems like an odd match for the Wizards\u2019 timeline. He is six years older than new star teammate Trae Young<\/a>, 27, and is obviously far older than all of Washington\u2019s other core pieces, including Kyshawn George<\/a> (22), Alex Sarr (21), Bilal Coulibaly<\/a> (21), Bub Carrington<\/a> (20), and the incoming No. 1 overall pick in this year\u2019s draft.<\/p>\n

But Davis is very much at a low point of his value right now. He has played in just 71 total games combined over the last two seasons due to a myriad of injuries and is set to make an exorbitant $58.5 million next season (with an even bigger $62.8 million player option for 2027-28 as well).<\/p>\n

Davis appeared to be hinting at a desire to move on already from the rebuilding Wizards with some blunt comments that he made last month<\/a>. But it does not sound like Washington will be inclined to grant Davis his wish until it also benefits them to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Washington Wizards appear to be prioritizing asset management above all with Anthony Davis.
