Anthony Davis will fully seek a four-year, $275 million max contract he is eligible to get from the Washington Wizards.<\/p>\n

The upcoming August would be a key month in determining the future of both Anthony Davis and the Washington Wizards, and the star big man is poised to demand a major payday.<\/p>\n

With Davis eligible to sign a four-year max deal worth $275 million, Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints revealed that his camp, led by Rich Paul, would force the Wizards to put that kind of contract on the table.<\/p>\n

“Very interesting scenario to see what will play out with Anthony Davis. He’s another one of these guys that is going to be extension eligible starting, I believe it’s August 6. He’s going to be eligible for a four-year $275 million max contract,” he said.<\/p>\n

“No team is going to give Anthony Davis $275 million given his injury history over the last two to three years. But that’s what Rich Paul and Davis are lobbying for. They’re going to put pressure on the Wizards to give them some type of max extension, and we’ll see what happens there.”<\/p>\n

Anthony Davis, Wizards set for huge contract negotiations <\/p>\n

Anthony Davis was acquired by the Washington Wizards from the Dallas Mavericks in the past 2025-26 trade deadline with the full understanding that he would get a new significant contract.<\/p>\n

From his current contract, Davis will get paid $58.4 million once he enters the next 2026-27 season. He holds a 2027-28 player option worth $62.8 million.<\/p>\n

Despite rumblings around Davis and the rumored pursuit of the Golden State Warriors for the All-Star center<\/a> in their hopes of landing LeBron James, the Wizards have maintained their bold stance of keeping the 33-year-old on their side.<\/p>\n

The Wizards expect themselves to be one of the must-watch teams next season, as Davis will banner the franchise along with Trae Young and reigning No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa.<\/p>\n

But right now, considering Davis’ injury history and his age, it remains to be seen whether the franchise will be willing to commit to that staggering $275 million contract amount within the next four years with the star big man.<\/p>\n
