Anthony Davis was on the sidelines in street clothes Tuesday night in Houston, appearing to chat with Pelicans coaches during a timeout with under a minute to go in a 121-116 victory over the Rockets. But whatever help the star power forward could have given coach Alvin Gentry, the team struggling to find any footing at 23-28 – five games out of the playoff picture – would benefit even more with him wearing his traditional jersey and undershirt instead of a turtleneck and sport coat.
But after his trade demands on Monday became public, people from Pelicans fans to fellow NBA players and GMs and especially members of the national media speculated on if Davis would play another game for New Orleans. He continues to ride the bench under the guise of a left index finger sprain, but when that heals in a matter of days, Pelicans general manager Dell Demps will be faced with the decision of putting Davis back on the floor – if he hasn’t been traded – or keep him in a holding pattern on the bench for the remainder of the season to preserve his health and trade value.
