Anthony Davis’ injury-plagued career with the Dallas Mavericks appears to be over.
On Wednesday, ESPN reported, citing sources, that the 10-time All-Star forward was included in a blockbuster trade that would send him to the Washington Wizards.
In exchange for Davis, the Mavericks are expected to receive Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, as well as multiple first- and second-round picks.

Washington acquired four-time All-Star Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert last month. Young has yet to appear in a game for the Wizards due to a knee and quad injury. He is expected to be reevaluated after next week’s All-Star break.

In January, Davis suffered a ligament injury in his left hand. The Mavericks team doctor later confirmed that Davis was able to avoid surgery to repair the damage. In mid-January, the Mavs said Davis would need approximately six weeks to “heal the injury.”
