Anthony Davis

Anthony Davis is a Top 10 fantasy basketball player but also in the Top 5 in terms of injury concerns. In his four years with the Lakers, he has played 62, 36, 40, and 56 games respectively. When he is healthy, he remains elite, averaging 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 2.0 blocks per game on his way to 52 FPPG. All of his underlying metrics support every part of his game, even as he heads into his age-30 season. At some point, LeBron James will stop being the first-look guy, but even with him, Davis sports a 28.5 usage percentage. Draft him with confidence but also with the knowledge that there is very little chance you're getting more than 65 games from him.

Anthony Davis signs three-year, $186 million extension with Lakers

Anthony Davis has signed a three-year, $186 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers. With the deal tying him to the franchise until 2028, the Lakers have the star forward locked up long-term.

Fantasy Impact

Davis cashed in on his healthiest year since 2019-20, playing 56 games during the 2022-23 season. His scoring and rebounding reached heights not seen since his first season in LA and he was a force on the defensive side of the ball. It’s hard to say exactly how dominant Davis will be at the end of his deal, but fantasy managers will have an elite asset for at least a few more years.
