To say the New Orleans Pelicans have had injury problems early on in the season would be an understatement. The latest player to go down happens to be the biggest. Anthony Davis left Tuesday’s game in the first quarter. Someone needs to step up in his absence, and all signs point to Dante Cunningham.
Anthony Davis injured his knee early in the Pelicans contest against the Portland Trailblazers on Tuesday. While the MRI came back negative, the injury seems severe enough for the Pelicans to make a roster move.
They signed forward Josh Smith to give them some extra big man depth.
