The NBA world was in shock when the Dallas Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers agreed to one of the most surprising blockbuster trades in NBA history, centering around Anthony Davis and Luka Dončić.
In the massive three-team trade, the Dallas Mavericks received Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 Lakers’ first-round pick; the Los Angeles Lakers received Luka Dončić, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris; and the Utah Jazz received Jalen Hood-Schifino, and two 2025 second-round picks.
This trade will shake many things up for both the Mavericks and the Lakers. Now headed to the third team in his NBA career, Davis is still playing at an all-star level. Let’s examine the former first-overall pick’s salary, contract, net worth, and career earnings.
Anthony Davis’ Contract and Salary
In August 2023, Davis and the Lakers agreed to a three-year extension worth $175,369,471. The contract is fully guaranteed and has an average annual salary of $58,456,490. At the time, it was expected that this new deal would presumably lock up Davis as the franchise’s potential cornerstone after LeBron James retires.
Now, with Dallas, the ten-time NBA All-Star has two more guaranteed years under contract before a player option ($62,786,601) in 2027-28. Davis is due $54,126,380 next season and $58,456,490 in the 2026-27 season.
Davis is having yet another all-star season this year, averaging 25.7 points, 11.9 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 2.1 blocks, and 1.3 steals while shooting 52.8% from the floor. He is a member of the NBA 75th Anniversary Team, and during his time with the Lakers, he won an NBA Championship in 2020 and an NBA Cup in 2023.
With the Mavericks, Davis will team up with Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson as the team looks to make back-to-back trips to the NBA Finals and secure its second NBA Championship in franchise history.
Davis’ Career Earnings and Net Worth
Davis has earned $335,911,755 from his NBA contracts alone, and his net worth is estimated to be roughly $160 million.
In addition to his NBA contracts, Davis has also partnered with numerous companies, signing endorsement deals with Anheuser-Busch InBev, Beats Electronics, ExxonMobil, First Entertainment Credit Union, Frito-Lay, and Nike. Finally, Davis is a professional Call of Duty player after he signed a contract with FaZe Clan as a member of their “Nuke Squad” in 2022.
Davis has excelled at every stop in his basketball career and will look to do the same at his latest stop in Dallas. If Davis can continue his success in Dallas, he would be poised for another hefty pay-day, whether via extension from the Mavericks or as an unrestricted free agent, when he hits the open market.
