Lakers to honor Anthony Davis legacy with special gesture

The Los Angeles Lakers are set to honor Anthony Davis when he returns to Crypto.com Arena during the 2026-27 NBA season.

The Lakers have officially announced their promotional nights for the upcoming season, with one of the most notable events featuring a giveaway of replica 2020 championship rings to fans in attendance.

That will be on Jan. 24, which coincides with Davis playing in LA against the Lakers as a member of the Washington Wizards.

Until his stunning trade to the Dallas Mavericks last year for Luka Doncic, Davis gave it his all for the Lakers with his two-way dominance and impact as one of the best bigs in the game.

Wearing purple and gold, Davis secured three All-Star selections, two All-NBA selections, and a gold medal with Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He also helped the Lakers win the inaugural NBA Cup title in 2023.
