Wizards unlikely to offer Anthony Davis max extension, per report

The Washington Wizards are reportedly unlikely to offer forward Anthony Davis a maximum-contract extension. Davis is seeking a max-level deal and could qualify for a four-year extension worth around $275 million if he declines his $62.8 million player option for the 2027-28 season. However, teams across the league are aware of his contract demands while Washington remains reluctant to commit to those terms.

Washington faces payroll obligations after signing Trae Young to a four-year, $213 million contract and building around top draft pick AJ Dybantsa. Despite contract differences, general manager Will Dawkins stated Davis is focused and prepared for the upcoming season, though trade speculation could emerge by the February deadline if negotiations stall.
