METAIRIE, La. -- Pelicans All-Star Anthony Davis says he's "expecting to play" when New Orleans hosts Oklahoma City on Wednesday night.
Davis, who sat out Monday's victory over Cleveland because of a right thigh bruise, says he took part in five-on-five work on both the offensive and defensive ends during Tuesday's practice.
Davis says he feels "a lot better" and says the only reason he would not play against the Thunder would be if his bruise acted up overnight.
Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry says the team will monitor how Davis' right leg responds to practice.
