NEW ORLEANS – Some in the home crowd booed as the public address announcer introduced the All-Star on their favorite team who wants to get out of town. Then whenever he touched the ball, the boos came louder and louder.
This wasn’t a repeat of Jimmy Butler’s first game this season at Target Center, but Smoothie King Center in New Orleans had that feel as Anthony Davis returned to the lineup after the organization failed to trade their unhappy star before Thursday’s deadline.
The Wolves probably wished they had as Davis took the floor for the first time since demanding a trade.
