The New Orleans Pelicans lost 98-95 to the Indiana Pacers in the finale of the 5-game road trip. The Pelicans trailed nearly the entire game and failed multiple times down the stretch to either tie or take the lead, including one final heave from Tyreke Evans at the buzzer.
More importantly, Anthony Davis’ health is again in question after a truly brutal fall while attempting a dunk against Pacers center Myles Turner (18 points, 12 rebounds, 4 blocks). Davis had his mid-range jumper going, scoring 14-first half points, and was trying to add a massive dunk to the mix when this happened:
Davis’ body basically became parallel to the floor as he fell, and after taking his free throws to ensure he could possibly return later, AD left the game to have X-rays taken on his hip and left thumb.
