Overview
- ESPN’s Tim MacMahon reports Davis wants to remain with the Mavericks and pursue an offseason extension rather than seek a trade.
- Dallas is exploring trade possibilities, but executives cite Davis’ durability concerns and the cost of a long, agent-driven extension as major hurdles midseason.
- Golden State evaluated scenarios but sees no realistic path to a deal, while league chatter continues to link Atlanta as a potential fit with no agreement in place.
- When on the floor this season, Davis has averaged 20.4 points, 10.8 rebounds, 2.8 assists and 1.7 blocks on 52.2% shooting across 18 games.
- Davis’ contract—$54.1 million this season, $58.5 million in 2026–27, and a $62.8 million player option for 2027–28—adds long-term cap risk, and regional injury updates on Dejounte Murray, Herbert Jones and Victor Wembanyama shape teams’ near-term planning.
