SALT LAKE CITY — Even after the NBA trade deadline, the Anthony Davis situation continues to loom over the New Orleans Pelicans franchise in the final stretch of the season.
Ever since Davis requested a trade, and a deal couldn’t be reached, the franchise has imposed a minutes restriction on the All-Star.
Entering Monday’s game against the Jazz, Davis was listed as questionable with an “illness” and was also rested during New Orleans’ 120-112 victory at Denver on Saturday.
