The Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers have emerged as potential suitors for Anthony Davis, according to Zach Lowe. “I’d keep an eye on the Bucks and the Clippers, just for the desperation factor,” Lowe said, highlighting the possibility of a midseason roster shakeup.
Davis, 32, is in the first year of a three-year, $175 million deal with the Dallas Mavericks. He is averaging 20.1 points, 10.7 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across 17 games this season while shooting 51.8% from the field. His presence provides a proven two-way impact that teams like Milwaukee and Los Angeles could leverage.
The Bucks, currently 11th in the Eastern Conference at 14–20, have struggled defensively despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 28.9 points and 10 rebounds per game. Adding a versatile frontcourt player like Davis could address their interior defense and rebounding issues while giving Giannis a partner capable of spacing the floor.

Kawhi Leonard and James Harden are leading scorers, but the Clippers’ frontcourt depth has lagged behind playoff contenders. Davis’ ability to score efficiently and protect the rim could complement their veteran stars and accelerate a turnaround.
The Mavericks have invested heavily in Davis, but trading him could become an option if Dallas looks to retool or balance its roster around younger players such as Cooper Flagg and Max Christie. Flagg, a 19-year-old rookie, is averaging 19.2 points and 6.4 rebounds per game,
