Monday marked the first time in NBA history 3 former No. 1 overall picks had 40-point double-doubles on the same day (Anthony Davis, Victor Wembanyama, Cooper Flagg).
AD DROPPED A SEASON-HIGH 44 POINTS!
44 PTS (30 in 1H)
13 REB
16-21 FGM
He's the first @WashWizards player since Antawn Jamison in 2007 to record 40+ PTS and 10+ REB with a 75+ FG% in a single game!
Wizards forward/center Anthony Davis is one of five Wizards players to register 30+ points in a half since at least 1996-97.
He joins Bradley Beal, John Wall, Gilbert Arenas and Michael Jordan.

Anthony Davis scored 30 points in the first half, his second-most first-half points in his career.
He is also the first player with 30 points entering halftime this season 😲
The Wizards allowed just 9 points in the third quarter at Orlando.
It's the first time they've held a team under 10 points in a quarter since only allowing 8 points vs. New Orleans in the fourth quarter on 2/4/17.

Anthony Davis with an unreal quote about the Wizards crowd.
“I’d like it to be a little more packed in there, but the crowd was great, they were into it, got us over the hump…Even when I was here last year, very first home game. It was like ‘Dress Like a Seat Night’ in here.”
The Wizards have a winning record for the first time in 1,423 days 🤯

Many Washington Wizards fans want a franchise rebrand. They say a new era demands new primary uniforms, a new logo and perhaps a new name. What are the chances of all that happening? Story at @TheAthleticNBA, free for everyone to read:
