New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis will play limited minutes against the Lakers on Wednesday night, ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk reported.
According to Youngmisuk, coach Alvin Gentry said Davis will be utilized for around "20 to 23" minutes. The center will likely not see action in the fourth quarter as the Pelicans continue to protect themselves and try to limit the risk of any injury to Davis for the rest of the season.
Davis, who requested a trade in late January through agent Rich Paul, said he was aware of the Pelicans' plans but would still like to be on the floor playing as much as he can.
