Anthony Davis’ career is beginning to travel in the wrong direction.

Life was pretty good for the 33-year-old 10-time All-Star until the Los Angeles Lakers shocked the world on Feb. 2 by trading him to the Dallas Mavericks for Luka Doncic. Davis didn’t last long in Dallas, as his injury-riddled stint with the 2011 NBA champions ended when he was shipped to the Washington Wizards this past February.

Still, many are fascinated by the idea of the Lakers reuniting with the NBA champion this summer. A recent trade rumor involving Davis makes that scenario more realistic than ever.

"I do think there's a good chance that he may end up somewhere else by the time next season starts,” NBA insider Chris Haynes reported Thursday.

While Haynes didn’t list the Lakers as a potential suitor for Davis, it goes without saying that is among the franchises that would be attached to the four-time All-NBA first team member.
