Anthony Davis was cleared on the Wizards' injury report Thursday, moving off the day-to-day tag he had carried since Sept. 6. He is available for Washington's season opener at the Knicks on Oct. 8.
What happened
The Wizards cleared Anthony Davis on the injury report issued Thursday, Oct. 1 at 12:18 PM ET. He had been listed day-to-day since Sept. 6, when the report tied the issue to his left finger and left arm. No new detail or comment accompanied Thursday's update, and the report does not list an expected return date since he is no longer out. At 33, Davis enters the season off that cleared designation.
What it means for the Wizards
Washington opens its 2026-27 schedule at the Knicks on Thursday, Oct. 8 at 7:30 PM ET on NBA TV, and Davis is clear to be part of it. Last season he averaged 31.3 minutes, 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 20 games. When he was off the floor last season, Washington leaned on CJ McCollum (30.9 minutes, 18.8 points), Julian Reese (30.9 minutes, 11.8 points), Kyshawn George (29.0 minutes, 14.8 points) and Alex Sarr (27.2 minutes, 16.3 points) for extra workload. The Wizards are 0-0, with no regular-season games played yet this season.
What to watch

Elsewhere on Washington's report, Alex Sarr is day-to-day with a right foot and leg issue, and Jamir Watkins is out with a left knee and leg issue.
