NEW ORLEANS -- The New Orleans Pelicans have ruled forward Anthony Davis out of the lineup for Saturday night's game against the Utah Jazz because of a right elbow sprain.
Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said Davis hurt his elbow during Friday night's 117-115 victory over Brooklyn. He played with the injury for the rest of the game, making a victory-clinching steal of an inbounds pass in the final seconds.
But lingering soreness has led Davis to sit out against Utah as the Pelicans try to improve on their 4-0 start to the season.
