Lakers star hangs $8 million price tag on home

Los Angeles Lakers big man Anthony Davis, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent later this year, has put his home in the North Ranch area of Westlake Village up for sale for $7.995 million.

The contemporary Mediterranean mansion sits behind gates with a guesthouse and a $1 million infinity-edge swimming pool complete with dual waterslides, a Baja deck and a spa. But perhaps even more impressive: an attached basketball gymnasium featuring its own viewing box.

Custom-built in 1996 and later expanded, the roughly 16,000-square-foot house features a two-story entry with a curved staircase, a wood-paneled office and a movie theater. The kitchen is equipped with two islands. There are five bedrooms and seven bathrooms including a multiroom master suite.

The 2.33-acre property has panoramic views encompassing the surrounding mountains and golf course. A five-car garage, motor court and an extensive solar-power system complete the site.

Davis, 27, was acquired by the Lakers from the New Orleans Pelicans last year in a multiplayer deal that included Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram and Josh Hart. A seven-time All-Star and three-time All-NBA first-team selection, he was averaging 26.7 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.4 blocks in 55 games for L.A. before the NBA went on hiatus in March due to concerns about the novel coronavirus.
