The Washington Wizards will have to continue to wait for Anthony Davis to make his debut since a Feb. 5 trade, with the forward/center needing more time to heal the ligament damage in his left hand, the team announced Friday.
Davis was re-evaluated Thursday by Dr. Steven Shin of Los Angeles' Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, who determined that despite positive progress in Davis' recovery, the volar plate tissue has not fully healed.
The Wizards said Davis will continue with 'conservative treatment and advance his basketball activity as tolerated.'
The 33-year-old will be re-evaluated at the end of March, per the team.
Davis had been cleared to begin limited individual on-court basketball activities on March 5.
He has not played since Jan. 8 while with the Dallas Mavericks. There has been heavy speculation that he won't return this season.
Davis appeared in just 20 games this season with Dallas and averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 blocks. He has career averages of 24.0 points and 10.7 rebounds in 807 games (800 starts) over 14 seasons with the New Orleans Hornets/Pelicans (2012-19), Los Angeles Lakers (2019-25) and Mavericks (2025-26).
A 10-time All-Star, Davis was the centerpiece of the blockbuster trade in February 2025 that sent Dallas star Luka Doncic to the Lakers. After joining the Mavericks, Davis played only nine games last season because of injuries.
