Pelicans shootaround update presented by HUB International: Anthony Davis says he will play against Thunder

Anthony Davis and the Pelicans received a scare Friday when the four-time All-Star was accidentally head-butted by Nuggets center Nikola Jokic – causing Davis to exit the game – but it appears the injury will not force the four-time All-Star to miss any additional time.

After Monday’s morning shootaround in the Ochsner Sports Performance Center, Davis indicated that he is fine and will play tonight vs. Oklahoma City (7-8). The 24-year-old, who is listed as probable on the official injury report, was polite but succinct while addressing the media, responding “yes” when asked if he’ll be OK to suit up against the Thunder.
