As expected in recent weeks, the Lakers and Anthony Davis have reached an agreement for a contract extension. The interior is committed for 3 additional years, the amount of the deal amounts to 186 million dollars.
While he might potentially test the market in a year by declining his player option, Anthony Davis preferred to swear loyalty to the Lakers even before the season resumed. A loyalty that will bring him a nice check. According to Adrian Wojnarowski ofESPN, the interior of the Lakers extended for 3 years and 186 million dollars. It’s simply the most expensive overtime in NBA history with an annual average of 62 million, just above the recently extended Jaylen Brown (60 million). Anthony Davis now finds himself tied to the Purple and Gold franchise until 2028, when he will be 35.

By extending Anthony Davis now, the Lakers are taking a thorn out of their feet and above all having to live with the stress of this famous player option in 2024. While LeBron James can also test the market next summer, the Angelinos are would be left with a potential mass departure scenario for their stars. There at least, it is clear, Davis will not move.
Of course, the question of price arises. A 100% in-form Anthony Davis totally deserves this deal, especially with contract prices rising. It will just be necessary to hope for Rob Pelinka and his family that injuries will not spoil things. Anthony Davis has missed an average of 35 games over the past three seasons. His move to the pivot position last season, however, allowed him to return to a level worthy of that of 2020, where he had helped the Lakers win their last NBA championship title. Unibrow averaged 25.9 points, 12.5 rebounds, 2 blocks and 1.1 steals in 2022-23.
