Anthony Davis may request trade if Washington Wizards struggle early

Anthony Davis could seek a trade from the Washington Wizards if the team encounters a difficult start to the upcoming season. While the veteran forward joined the roster following a trade from the Dallas Mavericks in February, he has not played a game for the franchise after missing the 2025-26 campaign. Both Davis and the team agreed to postpone contract extension negotiations until the season begins to evaluate his fit. The team made significant changes this summer by adding Trae Young and rookie AJ Dybantsa to the roster. If early performance does not meet expectations, Davis may pursue an exit, potentially leaving the Wizards to seek assets in return. The team is scheduled to face the Bucks, Raptors, Bulls, Hornets, and Cavaliers in their opening stretch of games.
