Clippers (8-8), Pelicans (4-12)
LOS ANGELES – It could’ve been worse. New Orleans could’ve lost a game and its best player for an extended period of time. Instead, Pelicans two-time All-Star Anthony Davis – who collided with Clippers point guard Chris Paul in the third quarter and was taken to the locker room – was ruled to have a right knee contusion (bruise). Although he did not return to action with the Clippers handily in front, Davis was listed as questionable and returned to the team bench, after what at first appeared to possibly be a serious injury.
