Anthony Davis did not take the floor as the Portland Trail Blazers vanquished the New Orleans Pelicans in a 132-119 victory last night. That score alone confirms his importance to New Orleans.

This morning Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports published an extensive article on Davis, tackling both topics.
Haynes captures Davis reflecting on his current status with the Pelicans and the team’s precarious position in the NBA’s Western Conference.
“Of course, I know that in order to win games, a lot of pressure is going to be on me,” Davis told Yahoo Sports while sitting at his locker stall Wednesday night.
