With four games remaining on the schedule and the New Orleans Pelicans out of playoff contention, Alvin Gentry is planning to deviate from standard operating procedures.
Anthony Davis, who is averaging a career-high 36.3 minutes per game and has already established a new personal season-high for minutes played, will see his workload reduced before the season concludes on April 12.
“Obviously we’re not going to play him 40 minutes in the first game and then a bunch of minutes in the second game {of a back-to-back}. I don’t see how that would benefit him at all, so if we’re going to play him in the first game and he gets in the 30s, he probably won’t even play in the second game.
