Mavericks send Anthony Davis to Wizards in eight-player trade: report

Anthony Davis' injury-riddled run with the Dallas Mavericks appears to be over.

On Wednesday, ESPN reported, citing sources, that the 10-time All-Star forward was included in a blockbuster trade that would send him to the Washington Wizards.

In exchange for Davis, the Mavericks are expected to receive Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, Malaki Branham, Marvin Bagley III, as well as multiple first- and second-round draft picks.

Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell and Dante Exum will reportedly join Davis in Washington. This marks the second blockbuster trade for the Wizards in 2026.

Washington acquired four-time All-Star Trae Young from the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert last month. Young has yet to appear in a game with the Wizards due to a knee and quadriceps injury. He is expected to be re-evaluated after next week's All-Star break.

In January, Davis suffered from ligament damage in his left hand. The Mavericks team doctor later confirmed that Davis was able to avoid surgery to repair the damage. In mid-January, the Mavs said Davis would require an estimated six weeks to "heal from the injury."

The New York Knicks defeated the Wizards 132-101 on Tuesday. Washington entered Wednesday in 14th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Attempted Trump assassin Ryan Routh is sentenced to life in prison, plus 7 years

Ryan Routh was sentenced Wednesday to life in prison plus seven years following his 2024 assassination attempt against then-presidential candidate Donald Trump at his West Palm Beach golf club in Florida. 

The sentencing comes after Routh was convicted last September on five federal criminal counts, including attempting to assassinate a major presidential candidate, assaulting a federal officer and multiple firearms offenses. 

Prosecutors pushed for the 59-year-old to get a life sentence, while Routh’s attorney, Martin Roth, asked the judge for 20 years in prison on top of a seven-year, mandatory sentence for one of the gun convictions. 

Routh's sentencing in Fort Pierce, Fla., had initially been scheduled for December, but U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon agreed to move the date back after Routh decided to use an attorney during the sentencing phase instead of representing himself as he did for most of the trial.

Prosecutors said Routh spent weeks plotting to kill Trump before aiming a rifle through shrubbery as the then-Republican presidential candidate played golf on Sept. 15, 2024, at his West Palm Beach, Fla., country club. 

At Routh’s trial, a Secret Service agent helping protect Trump on the golf course testified that he spotted Routh before Trump came into view. Routh aimed his rifle at the agent, who opened fire, causing Routh to drop his weapon and run away without firing a shot.
