The Mavericks made the unified decision to officially hand Flagg the keys to the franchise by trading Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards.

In February 2025, the Dallas Mavericks organization made one of the biggest blunders in modern sports history. They traded away Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis, effectively sacrificing their long-term future.

This is unsurprising news since he was traded to a Washington team trying to tank to keep its top-eight protected pick.

Anthony Davis' debut for the Washington Wizards will have to wait until the start of the 2026-27 season. Per NBA insider Chris Haynes, Davis is expected to sit out the remainder of this season to allow his hand and groin injuries to fully heal.

Newly acquired Anthony Davis is not expected to make his debut with the Washington Wizards until the 2026-27 season, NBA TV reported.

When all is said and done, Anthony Davis will be remembered as one of the NBA's all-time greats. Davis recently found himself on his third team in the last three years after the Dallas Mavericks sent him to the Washington Wizards earlier this week.
