Wizards Must Lock Up Davis Now | Washington Wizards News

The Wizards are in a high-stakes race to lock up Anthony Davis before he hits free agency, after trading for him alongside Trae Young in a bold move to rebuild. With Young already signed to a massive four-year, $212M deal, the pressure is on to match Davis’ expected $62M+ player option — especially since he’s a proven superstar averaging 20+ points and 11 rebounds. At 33, Davis is committed to Washington, having shown up at summer league and earning GM praise. The Mavericks traded him knowing his extension was coming, but the Wizards see him as their cornerstone. With Davis’ extension deadline looming and his injury history a concern, the front office must act fast — or risk losing their biggest investment before the season even starts.
