“In the Same Boat”: ESPN Insider Provides Update on Anthony Davis’ Lakers Comeback Rumors

ESPN insider Brian Windhorst described a potential Los Angeles Lakers reunion with Washington Wizards forward Anthony Davis as "very unlikely." Despite rumors sparked by comments shared by Scot Kaplan on ESPN Radio Los Angeles, Windhorst noted that Washington wants to evaluate Davis over 20 to 30 games before deciding on a contract extension, which would take him off the trade market entirely.

Windhorst explained that the Lakers face major roadblocks in acquiring Davis via trade due to limited assets after acquiring center Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz. Furthermore, Davis would likely need to force a trade specifically to Los Angeles for any deal to become realistic.
