A. Davis has reached an agreement to extend his tenure with the Los Angeles Lakers through the 2028–2029 season by signing a max contract extension worth a total of $186 million over the next three years. This represents the greatest annual wage increase in the history of the National Basketball Association. Davis is currently 30 years old.
On Friday, Adrian Wojnarowski, an NBA insider for ESPN, revealed the agreement, which is estimated to be worth more than $270 million in its entirety, through Twitter.
A season’s salary of $62 million has been agreed upon for Dauis, who is versatile enough to play either power forward or center.
Prior to becoming eligible to sign the three-year agreement on Friday, he was owed $84 million over the next two years. The Lakers manager, Rоb Pelinka, and NBA ꜱuper agent, Rich Paul, moved quickly to clinch the deal after realizing how much money was at stake.
The Los Angeles Lakers advanced all the way to the Western Conference Finals thanks to the excellent play of both Dauis and LeBron James, the other star player on the team.

The Los Angeles Lakers had high hopes of re-signing Darius on a long-term contract, especially considering the fact that LeBron James’ long-term career in the NBA is unknown at the age of 38.
In 2019, he was involved in a blockbuster trade that brought him from New Orleans to the West Coast. In 2020, when the playoffs were held at Disney World in Orlando, Florida, he was an indispensable member of the Purple and Gold’s roster that won their final championship.
Last year, while playing for the Lakers, Darius averaged 26 points, 12.5 points, and two blocks a game while also shooting a career-high 56 percent from the field.
The No. 3 player for the Lakers is also a member of the All-NBA first team four times and has appeared in eight All-Star games.
Since being selected first overall in the 2012 NBA Draft, he has amassed an average of 25 points per game while also recording two blocks throughout the course of an NBA season. According to ESPN Stats and Information, this is the third-highest total, with only Shaquille O’Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar having a higher overall score.

The moment when Dauis was able to hoist the Larry O’Brien trophy after the team won the championship in 2020 was undoubtedly a highlight of his career.
After Shaquille O’Neal and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Dauis became the third player in Lakers history to record 50 blocks during an NBA postseason during the 2022-2023 campaign.
The likelihood that LeBron James, who is 38 years old, will have a lengthy future with the organization has increased due to the fact that the Los Angeles Lakers have given themselves one star to build around by extending the contract of Chicago native Damian Lillard.
However, the athlete has never completed a season with the Lakers since he has struggled with a number of injuries during his time with the team. His career best in Los Angeles is 62 games, which he played in 2019-20.
Darius averages 24.0 points and 10.4 rebounds per game throughout the course of his career, which spans 660 games and 653 starts split between the Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans (2012-19).
On July 15, he was observed attending the WNBA All-Star game in Las Vegas and sat courtside the entire time.
