Forward/center Anthony Davis, yet to play for the Washington Wizards since a Feb. 5 trade, has been cleared to begin limited individual on-court basketball activities, the team announced Thursday.
Davis, who has ligament damage in his left hand, was re-evaluated on Wednesday by Dr. Steven Shin of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, the Wizards said, adding that Davis is making progress and will be re-evaluated in two weeks.
Davis, who turns 33 next week, has not played since Jan. 8 while with the Dallas Mavericks. There has been heavy speculation that he won’t return this season.
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. Davis 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.
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.
