Anthony Davis aims for 40-win season with Washington Wizards

Anthony Davis told reporters he intends to play all 82 regular‑season games and expects the Washington Wizards to exceed 40 victories, a dramatic improvement over the franchise’s recent sub‑20‑win seasons. He linked his optimism to the team’s new talent, including the No. 1 draft pick and point guard Trae Young, and highlighted his own health after an injury‑marred prior year.

Trade speculation continues as Davis, in the final year of his three‑year, $179.3 million contract, holds a $62.8 million player option for 2027‑28. He discussed the Wizards’ plans in a Las Vegas interview during Summer League, indicating the club is working to retain him while the future of his contract remains unsettled.
