The Pelicans hope to "re-engage" the NBA regarding their intent to bench Anthony Davis for the rest of the season, according to the New York Times' Marc Stein. The league previously threatened to fine New Orleans $100,000 for each game Davis sat through the end of 2018-19, per ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
"There were strong signals in Charlotte that the Pelicans – with Danny Ferry now serving as their active general manager in the wake of Friday's firing of Dell Demps – intend to re-engage the N.B.A this week in hopes of convincing league officials to rethink their stance about forcing them to play Davis," Stein wrote on Tuesday.
