Anthony Davis reportedly has agreed to a deal that will have the richest average annual value in NBA history at $62 million per season.
Davis, in his four seasons with the Lakers since being acquired in a 2019 blockbuster trade with the New Orleans Pelicans, has averaged 24.6 points, 10.1 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game.
Selected first overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, Davis has been a four-time first-team All-NBA selection and been named a member of the league's 75th anniversary team as one of the top players of all time. His extension comes during a busy offseason for the Lakers in which they re-signed Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura and added former Miami Heat guard Gabe Vincent. Davis will make $40.6 million this season and $43.2 next season in the final year of the deal he signed after the 2020 championship season,Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves reacts to his teammate D'Angelo Russell's comments about Reaves being overlooked because he is white.
That contract ran concurrently with LeBron James' two-year deal that will pay him $47.6 million this season. James has a $51.4 million player option for the 2024-2025 season.
