Newly acquired Anthony Davis is not expected to make his debut with the Washington Wizards until the 2026-27 season, NBA TV reported.
Davis, 32, has ligament damage in his left hand as well as a groin injury. The Wizards, who have a 14-36 record and are nine games out of the final play-in spot in the Eastern Conference, reportedly would prefer giving Davis the time off to heal.
He was acquired from the Dallas Mavericks at the trade deadline on Thursday as part of a nine-player, three-team deal that also involved multiple draft picks.
Davis has not played since Jan. 8, when he was injured in a loss to the Utah Jazz.
He appeared in just 20 games this season with Dallas and averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 blocks.
A 10-time All-Star, Davis was the centerpiece of the trade last February that sent Dallas star Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers. After his arrival with the Mavericks, Davis played only nine games because of injuries.
The Wizards also are waiting for the debut of Trae Young, the four-time All-Star guard they acquired from the Atlanta Hawks in a trade on Jan. 9. He has yet to play because of a right knee MCL sprain and a bruised right quad.
