The Los Angeles Lakers are just a few months away from possibly starting to make a run at the NBA championship. Not too long after they were stuck with an incomplete and unbalanced roster, they boast one that seems to have almost everything.
But there is a concern hanging over the franchise — Anthony Davis’ contract, which he can opt out of next summer one year before it expires.
There has been speculation about whether the Lakers will offer him an extension and when they may do so. In an exclusive interview with Mark Medina, owner Jeanie Buss didn’t give any specifics about a possible extension, but she did seem to hint that the plan is to extend the superstar center.
Via Sportskeeda:
“Rob said it best. Our intention is that we want to keep continuity with our team. I’ll leave it at that.”
A report a few weeks ago quoted a Western Conference executive as saying Los Angeles is reluctant to give Davis an extension, partly because of his injury history.
