**Anthony Davis’s recent February 2026 trade to the Washington Wizards and the team’s plans to discuss a contract extension during the 2026-27 season underpin the strong trader consensus against another move before next season.** The Wizards acquired the 33-year-old forward-center in an eight-player deal from Dallas and view him as a long-term defensive anchor alongside young talents such as Alex Sarr and veterans like Trae Young. Extension talks are slated to begin in-season rather than immediately, reflecting mutual caution tied to Davis’s extensive injury history—he has appeared in far fewer than 70 games in most recent seasons. Washington has shown no interest in fielding trade offers, and reports indicate the organization is committed to evaluating his fit on the court before committing to a max-level deal or exploring alternatives. With Davis under contract through 2028 (including a player option), the absence of confirmed suitors or new friction since the Wizards acquisition supports the market’s view that another transaction is unlikely in the near term.
