Anthony Davis is calling his shots early this year.
The Washington Wizards star Davis was interviewed by content creator More Myles at Fanatics Fest in New York, N.Y. During the interview, Davis was asked about next season and made a couple of very bold predictions.
When asked about how the Wizards would do in 2026-27, Davis predicted that they would have “40-plus wins.” Davis was then asked how many games he himself would play next season and quickly replied, “82.”

That would mark quite the turnaround for both Davis and the Wizards. For one, Washington won a league-worst 17 games last season, so Davis is predicting that they will win more than double that next season.
Meanwhile, the 33-year-old Davis is highly injury-prone and did not appear in even a single game for the Wizards last season due to a hand issue (appearing in only 20 games prior to that last season for the Dallas Mavericks). Davis has never played 82 games in his NBA career (topping out at 76 in 2023-24), but that may be what he has to shoot for given his recently-reported demands of the Wizards on a new contract extension.
