Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis is expected to sit the rest of the season for the Wizards.

Fantasy Impact

Davis was traded to the Wizards ahead of Thursday’s deadline. It would have been a surprise if he played again this season with Washington focusing on the draft lottery at this point. He has been sidelined since the beginning of January after sustaining ligament damage in his hand.

Anthony Davis has been traded to the Washington Wizards along with Jaden Hardy, D’Angelo Russell, and Dante Exum for Kris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two firsts, and three second round picks.

Fantasy Impact

It’s a massive deal and one that adds yet another layer of pain to Dallas fans who now see Anthony Davis effectively net them two first round picks and more while Luka Doncic snagged them a single pick. It brings Davis’ short tenure in Dallas to an end. When, or if, he returns to the court this year, he should be a decent fantasy asset leading the Wizards frontcourt.

The Mavericks "most active" trade talks involving Anthony Davis are with Raptors.

Toronto has also been linked to Domantas Sabonis of the Kings. No deal is imminent around Davis. He remains sidelined with a hand injury.

Anthony Davis (hand) will not require surgery to repair his injured hand, and will be reevaluated in six weeks after getting a second opinion by a specialist.

Fantasy Impact

At first, it appeared that Davis‘s season was in jeopardy as surgery looked all but imminent, as it would have knocked him out for several months. However, it appears that he may have avoided that fate, with a now potential return near the end of February. With Dallas likely out of the play-in by the time he returns, the Mavericks still could shut him down for the rest of the season. But, this does offer a glimmer of hope for fantasy managers.

Anthony Davis is likely to undergo surgery to repair ligament damage in his left hand.

Fantasy Impact

The surgery is expected to force Davis to miss several months. It is unclear if this injury to Davis will impact the timetable for Kyrie Irving's return off a torn ACL. Shams added that despite the surgery, the Mavericks are still having trade talks with contenders who could be interested in Davis for a return in the playoffs.
