Jeanie Buss Eyes Offseason Reunion with Anthony Davis as Tampering Fears Loom
As the Lakers head into the offseason, team governor Jeanie Buss is preparing for a pivotal conversation—one she hasn’t had yet—with former star Anthony Davis, who was recently traded. Despite their deep history, Buss admitted during an interview on SiriusXM NBA Radio that she hasn’t spoken to Davis face-to-face since the trade was finalized. She expressed her eagerness to reconnect with him but emphasized the importance of caution due to league rules.
“I look forward to seeing him in the offseason,” Buss said. “But we have to remember, he’s now under contract with another team. We’ve faced tampering accusations before, so I need to be very careful.”
Davis, who spent over five seasons with the Lakers, played a crucial role in delivering the 2020 NBA championship during the Orlando bubble. His departure marks the end of an era in Los Angeles, but Buss’s comments reveal both respect and restraint as the franchise navigates its next chapter.
