Wizards want longer look at Anthony Davis before extension decision

The Washington Wizards plan to evaluate Anthony Davis across 20 to 30 games before deciding on a contract extension, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst. This evaluation period will help determine whether Davis signs a new deal with Washington or becomes a candidate to be traded.

Windhorst noted that a trade is likely if an extension is not agreed upon, though he dismissed rumors of a return to the Los Angeles Lakers as very unlikely. Washington currently holds a 4-6 record with Davis and Trae Young, though Davis has already missed time due to a sprained ankle.
