According to the New Orleans Pelicans Twitter account, Anthony Davis will be out for tonight’s game due to a family-related reason.
Obviously, everyone hopes that all is well on Davis’ home front, but this is far from the worst news for a team that should be entirely in evaluation mode at this point. If healthy, Cheick Diallo and Jahlil Okafor need to be playing north of 20 minutes and that hasn’t been the case with also Julius Randle soaking up a lot of action in trying to prove his worth on what should be a new contract signing this summer.
