Wizards face decision on Anthony Davis contract extension by August 6

Anthony Davis will become eligible to sign a contract extension with the Washington Wizards on August 6. He has been central to trade rumors since joining the team, with questions about his long-term future looming after a contract extension with Trae Young this summer. The Wizards have hinted at discussing a new deal, though Davis is currently set to make approximately $58.5 million this season. If he declines his player option for 2027-28, he could extend for up to four years, potentially worth $275 million, though concerns remain regarding his age and injury history. Wizards general manager Will Dawkins indicated that contract discussions will take place in mid-August.
