Davis' role so far

During the current season, Davis is averaging 33.0 minutes, 23.4 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 2.1 assists. These statistics result in 43.7 fantasy points per game in the tracked scoring system. This follows a 2025-26 season where he played 20 games and averaged 31.3 minutes and 20.4 points.

Who steps in

If Davis is unavailable, the minutes model indicates the Washington Wizards will distribute his playing time among the healthy rotation, particularly to players at his position. The model suggests the following increases in playing time: Anthony Davis could see about 5.9 more minutes for a total of 37.8, Kyshawn George could gain about 5.6 more minutes for a total of 35.9, and Alex Sarr could see about 4.9 more minutes for a total of 31.4.

What it means for your lineup

A day to day listing indicates the club has not made a definitive determination regarding his status. For games with a later start time, having a fallback option from that same time window or later can prevent an empty lineup spot in the event of a late scratch.

NBA injury designations are subject to change throughout game day. A final decision regarding player availability is often not released until close to the scheduled tip off.
