Anthony Davis joins Wizards in trade from Mavericks: report

Anthony Davis’ injury-riddled run with the Dallas Mavericks appears to be over.

On Wednesday, ESPN reported 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 and multiple first- and second-round draft 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 with the Wizards due to a knee and quadriceps injury. He is expected to be reevaluated after next week’s All-Star break.

In January, Davis damaged a ligament in his left hand. The Mavericks team doctor later confirmed that Davis avoided surgery to repair the damage. In mid-January, the Mavs said Davis would require an estimated six weeks to “heal from the injury.”
