Pelicans’ Anthony Davis hurts his back diving into stands

It was odd, as is the box score where the Pelicans are favored in many categories, with the exception of points in the paint (50-32), and most importantly, the final score. “The next game on our mind is the next one on the schedule, and we are thinking very short-term right now”.

IN came out of the break on a 7-1 spurt, and Paul George gave IN its first lead since the opening quarter o a three pointer with 10:08 left IN the third, 45-44. On a night where the Pelicans played well enough defensively to win, the offense failed to get the job done. We’ll just how to see how he feels. If a Pelicans fan actually got sick from each ill-advised shot Norris Cole took, the entire Smoothie King Center may have been watching the game with Anthony Davis. The game is at 2:30 pm CT (UTC -6) and is on Fox Sports New Orleans and the Pelicans Radio Network, 99.5 FM locally.

The Pelicans could not get shots to fall no matter how a possession started.

The teams combined for 41 turnovers and 97 missed shots. He was removed from the game, after grimacing and holding his lower back, and did not return. This time it was a back contusion suffered three minutes into the first quarter after Davis landed on a chair chasing down a loose ball.

Hello and welcome to the NBA Sunday Live Blog of the game between the LA Clippers and the New Orleans Pelicans. Maybe the Pelicans pull a “96 Spurs and have Davis sit out longer than what’s really needed to improve their chances of landing Ben Simmons?” “As a team, I think we are going to work on our scheme down in crucial situations”. You want to blow up the roster and dump Anderson, Evans, Gordon…really anyone not named Anthony Davis, fine.

Anthony Davis minutes played: 3. Tyreke Evans would do his best to save the day, single-handedly bringing New Orleans back.

Tyreke Evans scored 27 for New Orleans, which has lost four out of five. The Pacers made 13-of-22 shots, scoring 30 points in the quarter. Los Angeles has administered several one-sided defeats to New Orleans at Staples Center in recent years, including a 111-90 final the night after Thanksgiving. IN finished with 17 more rebounds than New Orleans. For reference IN had more defensive rebounds, 40, than New Orleans did total. But Jrue Holiday’s three was way off the mark. George had 13 points on 3-13 shooting. More awesome was the Pelicans could only muster 10 points off those turnovers. You bet they did!

The New Orleans Pelicans have been struggling to reach anything close to the level of play they were expected to be at coming into the 2015-16 National Basketball Association season.

“I’m sure he’ll try (to play Sunday)”, Gentry said after Saturday’s practice.
