For Anthony Davis, the end of his Los Angeles era may finally be official.
According to The New York Post, the former Los Angeles Lakers star is reportedly in contract to sell his massive Bel Air estate for close to $40 million, unloading one of the last remaining ties to the city where he won an NBA title and spent six seasons alongside LeBron James.
The property, which Davis purchased in 2021 for roughly $31 million, is expected to net him a sizable profit if the deal closes near the asking price.
The gated estate sits in Bel Air and spans nearly 17,000 square feet. The eight-bedroom, 12-bathroom mansion includes a 35-foot glass dome entry, a floating staircase, soaring ceilings, a wine cellar, a theater, a game lounge, a massage room, a hair salon, a batting cage, a cold plunge, a tennis court, and parking for more than 30 cars.
Outside, the home features canyon views and an infinity pool that turns the backyard into more of a private resort than a residence.
Davis bought the house at a very different moment in his career. In 2021, he had just helped deliver a championship to the Lakers and looked set to remain one of the franchise’s cornerstones.
Instead, the next several years brought one of the NBA’s wildest stretches of roster upheaval. Davis was traded from Los Angeles to the Dallas Mavericks in the blockbuster deal that sent Luka Dončić to the Lakers, then moved again to the Washington Wizards just one year later.
The Wizards acquired Davis in February as part of a three-team deal involving Dallas and the Charlotte Hornets. Washington also landed D'Angelo Russell, Jaden Hardy and Dante Exum while sending out Khris Middleton, Marvin Bagley III and several draft picks.
The move paired Davis with newly acquired star Trae Young as Washington attempts to speed up its rebuild around young players like Alex Sarr and Kyshawn George.
The luxury market in Los Angeles has cooled significantly over the past year, with many ultra-high-end homes sitting unsold for months. Davis' mansion was reportedly the most expensive home in Los Angeles County.
This is not Davis' first major Los Angeles real estate move: months before buying the Bel Air estate, he sold his Westlake Village home for $6.6 million, less than the $7.5 million he originally paid for it.
