With 10 wins in a row, the New Orleans Pelicans broke their franchise record, but the victory in Sacramento was overshadowed by the injury of Anthony Davis, who had to leave the field in the third quarter. It is still unclear whether and how long the star will be cancelled.
3:32 minutes to go before the end of the third quarter, Davis had to leave the game as he stepped on the foot of his opponent Kosta Koufos and turned back. The ankle of the superstar was immediately examined in the cabin, but a quick X-ray examination remained negative.
“We don’t know exactly what to expect,”coach Alvin Gentry said after the game,”The investigation doesn’t say much, we’re going to go home and we’ll probably do an MRI again, and we’ll know more.”
I feel okay, but the doctor will take a closer look at it again,”explained the brewer.” If you bend over, it’s naturally painful, especially if you step onto the opponent’s foot. There’s no protection.”
Davis left the game the day before when he collided with DeAndre Jordan and was slightly injured at the hip. AD already has a big medical record and only played more than 68 games in the last season (75). Davis also missed five games this season, four of them because of groin problems.
