Anthony Davis Day-to-Day With Finger Injury Ahead of Wizards' 2026-27 Opener
newsroom · 2 h agoAnthony Davis is listed day-to-day with a left finger and arm injury, with an estimated return date of October 1, 2026. The 2026-27 season has not started yet, so there are no games or box scores on the board. Last season Davis averaged 20.4 points and 11.1 rebounds in 20 games for Washington.
Injury Report
Anthony Davis is currently listed as day-to-day because of a left finger and arm injury. His estimated return date is October 1, 2026. The injury log shows the issue was logged as of September 6, 2026, described simply as day-to-day, finger and arm, left side. No other details on how the injury happened or a specific game he might miss are available. With the target return date landing right around the start of the season, Washington will be watching his availability closely as the opener approaches. For now, Davis is not cleared, and there is no update yet on whether he will be ready for game one.
Last Season by the Numbers
In 2025-26, his most recent season on record, Davis played 20 games for Washington and averaged 20.4 points, 11.1 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.7 blocks in 31.3 minutes per game. He shot 50.6% from the field, 27.0% from three and 72.8% from the free-throw line, with a true shooting mark of 55.1%. His usage rate sat at 27.2%, and his plus-minus for the season was -2.5. Those numbers reflect a still-productive two-way big man, even in a season where he only logged 20 games. Everything above is last season's production and should not be read as anything happening in the current 2026-27 season.
Roster Fit for 2026-27
Davis is entering the season on the Wizards roster wearing No. 23, listed at forward-center, 6-10 and 253 pounds. Washington used the No. 1 overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft on AJ Dybantsa, adding another high-usage scorer to the roster. That means Davis heads into training camp sharing the frontcourt picture with a top pick who profiles as a heavy-usage player in his own right. How the touches and shot distribution shake out between the two is one of the bigger storylines for Washington once the season tips off. Nothing in the record yet shows how minutes or roles will be split; that will play out once games start.
Career Snapshot
Davis is 33 years old and enters his 14th NBA season. He played college basketball at Kentucky before turning pro. At 6-10 and 253 pounds, he remains built as a forward-center who can defend the rim and space out to the perimeter, based on last season's shooting splits. He wears No. 23 for Washington. There is no additional biographical detail in the record beyond his age, experience, school and physical measurables, so that is the full snapshot available heading into 2026-27.
What's Next
The 2026-27 season has not started for Davis or the Wizards. There are no recorded games yet and no rumors on the board involving him. The clearest marker for what happens next is the injury timeline: an estimated return of October 1, 2026, for the finger and arm issue. If that holds, he would be in position for Washington's opener. Beyond the health update and the addition of AJ Dybantsa through the draft, there is nothing else on file about roster moves, trades or scheduling to report at this point in the offseason.
