All-Star center Anthony Davis will not sit out and plans on playing out the rest of the season with the New Orleans Pelicans despite requesting a trade away from the franchise, head coach Alvin Gentry told reporters Monday.
Davis reportedly does not intend on signing a contract extension with New Orleans when his contract expires this offseason. However, Davis will not hold out until his trade request is acknowledged. Gentry said he showed up at the team facility Monday morning and worked out.
"He's under contract. He's professional," Gentry said, per NOLA.com's Anthony Lopez.
