Per the NBA’s concussion evaluation protocol, Davis underwent comprehensive examination yesterday morning in New Orleans by Dr. Andrew Gottschalk, the Pelicans’ concussion management primary care physician. Following evaluation, and discussion with Dr. Suri, Nuggets team physicians who evaluated Davis during the game in Denver, and consultation with NBA league physicians, Davis was diagnosed with a contusion of the orbit bone above his right eye and cleared of the concussion diagnosis.
Davis’ injury status is probable for tomorrow’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
