Washington Wizards win season opener as Anthony Davis drops 34 in dazzling debut
Davis posted 34 points and 12 rebounds in his long-awaited Wizards debut, tying the franchise record for points in a debut, as Washington beat Milwaukee 128-116; Trae Young added 20 points and 13 assists, and the Wizards shot 63% in the second half.
Why it matters
The Washington Wizards opened the 2026-27 season with a 128-116 win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Oct 21 at Capital One Arena. The story of the night was Anthony Davis's Wizards debut: 34 points on 11-of-20 shooting (11-of-14 from the line), 12 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in about 34 minutes — tying Antawn Jamison's franchise record for the most points in a Wizards debut. Fans broke into "MVP" chants before the first quarter was even over.
Nine months in the making
Davis arrived in Washington in February in an eight-player trade with the Dallas Mavericks but was injured and never suited up for the Wizards last season; this was his first regular-season game since Jan 8. Trae Young added 20 points and 13 assists; a Deandre Ayton dunk early in the fourth sparked a 21-4 run, and Washington shot 63% after halftime to outscore Milwaukee 77-60. No. 1 overall pick AJ Dybantsa sat out with a sprained ankle.
The other side
Tyler Herro scored 24 points and Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 22 for the Bucks in new head coach Taylor Jenkins's first game in charge. The Wizards host Toronto on Friday.
