NBA pressures Pelicans to play Anthony Davis, team restricts minutes

After a drama and question filled last couple of weeks, Anthony Davis finally returned to action last night as the New Orleans Pelicans took on the Minnesota Timberwolves. There was much speculation about whether or not the Pelicans would play Davis after the trade deadline, but it seems the league has stepped in and made that choice for New Orleans.

Anthony Davis made it clear that he wanted to play once he was recovered from his finger injury, yet the Pelicans kept him on the bench Monday night against the Pacers and Wednesday versus the Bulls even though he was reportedly ready to come back.
