Call it “Homecoming Week” for New Orleans fourth-year power forward Anthony Davis. In a case of coincidental and fortunate scheduling, over the next six days, the 22-year-old’s team is playing preseason games in the city where he grew up (Chicago), as well as his college town (Lexington, Ky.).
The two-time All-Star is a proud native of the Windy City, recently adding a script “Chicago” tattoo on the underside of his right arm this summer. In one season at the University of Kentucky, Davis managed to author one of the greatest freshman campaigns in NCAA history, leading the Wildcats to the 2012 national championship.
