Washington Wizards general manager Will Dawkins said Sunday he expects Anthony Davis to return to the court this season, but that the timeline will become clearer during the All-Star break.
Dawkins’ remarks came a day after The Athletic reported that the Wizards were likely to shut down the injured 10-time All-Star forward for the remainder of the season, citing a league source it did not name.
Washington acquired Davis — who has been recovering from a sprained finger on his non-shooting hand since Jan. 8 — ahead of Thursday’s trade deadline as the centerpiece of an eight-player deal with Dallas. His initial expected return timeline was six weeks.
