Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Anthony Davis is attempting to give it a go after sustaining an injury. This time, it’s a wrist contusion Davis will be gutting out, an injury that knocked him out of Wednesday night’s loss to the Toronto Raptors.
Before the DeMarcus Cousins trade, the “Davis attempting to gut out injury” storyline felt like the Pelicans would be playing with one hand tied behind their back. Having a talent like Cousins relieves Davis of having to be a superhero, battling whatever twinges of pain that remain.
Now the Pelicans head east to Charlotte to play the Hornets and Kemba Walker.
