Los Angeles Lakers star forward Anthony Davis has declined a four-year, $146 million contract extension and is set to hit free agency this summer, according to Yahoo Sports' Chris Haynes. Davis plans on declining a $28.7 million player option for the 2020-21 season.
Agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports informed the Lakers of the decision on Tuesday morning.
It is all a procedural move and Davis is not expected to leave the Lakers, who he waived a no-trade clause to be dealt from New Orleans last summer. He could sign a deal worth $202 million for five years.
