In a stunning development that sent shockwaves throughout the basketball world, Los Angeles Lakers point forward and perennial All-Star Anthony Davis made a major announcement today that has left fans reeling and Lakers head coach JJ Redick reportedly speechless.

The announcement, delivered during an emotionally charged press conference at the Crypto.com Arena, included devastating news concerning his future with the franchise — news that few, if any, saw coming.

“I’ve given everything to this game, to this city, and to this team,” Davis began, visibly emotional. “But after long conversations with my family, medical team, and inner circle, I’ve made a decision that wasn’t easy. This is something I need to do not just for my career, but for my health and future.”

While full details are still emerging, multiple sources confirm that Davis is stepping away from basketball indefinitely, citing a combination of chronic injury concerns and a desire to “prioritize long-term well-being over short-term glory.”

The announcement reportedly blindsided Lakers management, with coach JJ Redick — who had just completed his first summer league session with the team — said to be “visibly shaken” and at a loss for words after hearing the news.

Reactions from around the league were swift, with tributes and messages of support flooding social media. Teammate LeBron James posted:

“You’re one of the greatest, AD. Proud of you for making a tough call. Family and health first. Always.”

Davis, who averaged 25.6 points and 12.4 rebounds last season, has battled a long history of injuries despite being one of the league’s most dominant two-way players when healthy. His absence could dramatically reshape the Lakers’ trajectory heading into the 2025–26 NBA season.

The Lakers have yet to issue an official statement regarding Davis’s future, but an emergency front office meeting is reportedly underway to reassess the team’s offseason plans.
