Anthony Davis Just Sent Another Major Signal About His Wizards Transition

NBA star Anthony Davis parts with his opulent Los Angeles estate, marking a new era as his career pivots towards the East Coast.

Anthony Davis has officially moved on from one of Los Angeles’ flashiest celebrity properties, closing the sale of his Bel Air Crest mansion for $32 million.

The former Lakers star had put the estate on the market for $40 million last year, and the deal finally went through this week. Even at a price below the original ask, the home is anything but ordinary.

The mansion covers about 17,254 square feet and includes eight bedrooms, but the real draw is the long list of amenities built into the property. There’s an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a private movie theater, a tennis court, a wine cellar and even a barber shop.

From the street, the house makes its presence known with a stately white exterior and manicured landscaping leading to a grand entrance. Behind it, the property opens up into something closer to a resort than a private home, with the pool stretching across the center of the grounds and lounge space framed by hillside views.

Inside, the chef’s kitchen is anchored by a huge marble island and custom cabinetry, with floor-to-ceiling windows bringing in natural light and connecting the main living spaces to the backyard.

The entertainment spaces are built for hosting. The private theater comes with multiple oversized lounge sofas aimed at a massive projection screen, while the game room adds a billiards table, custom sports memorabilia displays and a full wet bar.

Other standout details include a primary bathroom with a freestanding soaking tub placed in front of a long linear fireplace, plus a living room that opens almost completely to the backyard through disappearing glass walls.

For an athlete, the setup checks just about every box: a full-size tennis court, private gym, batting cage and an outdoor chef’s kitchen. An elevator, wine cellar and multiple entertaining areas round out the property’s luxury-heavy design.

The sale also fits into a busy stretch of movement for Davis. The 10-time NBA All-Star was traded from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Dallas Mavericks in February 2025 in the blockbuster deal that sent Luka Doncic to Los Angeles. Less than a year later, he was moved again, this time to the Washington Wizards ahead of the 2026 season.

With his career now centered on the East Coast, the sale of the Bel Air estate marks another clear break from his Los Angeles chapter.

Classic Bulls Era Fleer Set Suddenly Has Collectors Watching Again

The 1987-88 Fleer basketball set is back in the spotlight, and it is easy to see why. It brings together one of the eras most recognizable checklists, with Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Alex English and Manute Bol all tucked into a design that still feels distinctly of its time. For collectors, the appeal is not just nostalgia. Recent high-grade sales and population data have reminded the hobby that this set has become a serious market again, especially when condition pushes a card into elite company.

For Wizards fans, Bols presence gives the set a little extra local flavor, and his card has drawn attention of its own in top grade. The broader question now is how much room remains for the rest of the sets stars to keep climbing, especially with grading reports showing how scarce some of the best copies really are. The answer may depend on whether buyers keep treating this Fleer run as a blue-chip basketball landmark or simply one more relic from a loaded decade. [Read more 🡒]

Trae Youngs Wizards Role Shift Could Change Everything

Trae Youngs first stretch in Washington already hinted at something different, and Wizards general manager Will Dawkins is suggesting that change could carry into the upcoming season. In a small sample with the Wizards, Youngs usage rate sat at 26.3 percent while his assist percentage climbed to 47.5 percent, a sign that his impact can look a little different when the offense is distributed more broadly around him.

For Washington, the key question is how far that adjustment goes. Young is still expected to handle the ball plenty, but the idea is to give him a more diversified offensive role rather than asking him to do everything on every possession. If that balance holds, it could reshape how the Wizards build around him and how difficult they are to defend once the season starts. [Read more 🡒]
