Anthony Davis Injury (Video)

[PELICANSFAN]

Experience isn't just about minutes. It's about situational basketball. Monty wanted him to be in a blowout just so that he could have to learn to fight and scratch and claw his way back into the game.

I didn't hear anyone saying "take Davis out of the game" before he got injured. Those cries only came afterward, and from the outside looking in, it just seems like sour grapes. That really isn't intended to be an insult, so please don't take it that way.

Again, I disagree and we will just have to agree to disagree. 78 games into the season, we have had plenty of situations where we have been down significantly and has to scratch and claw back into the game. It is not like this was a new situation. I was complaining when we were down 30 that Monty needed to get the key players out (not just AD). I could not understand why Mason, Thomas and Harris were not in the game at that point.

I don't remembering being down 30?

I have no proof but I feel like the people who are saying Davis was playing too late in that game are the same people who complained when Davis wasn't getting but around 25 MPG.

Those posters said that the minutes he would be getting in this game were not significant enough. I believe the desire is to see Davis playing minutes when he has a significant chance of leading the team to a victory.

Yes it was 109-79 at one point.

Yes it was 109-79 at one point.

Yes with 8 mins left in the game.

[IamQuailman]

Yes, 8:15 left 30 pts. But then 19pts with 6:48 left (when Davis gets hurt). Went on an 11-0 run. Who's to say we don't extend that further????

The Hornets are waiting for MRI results right now on Anthony Davis's knee.

The fact that we didn't?

wasn't it down to like 13 w/ around 3:00 left?

in the crazy sport called basketball... that's enough time to make something happen

[Inner_GI]

I think it got down to 11 at one point, but I can't remember.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

Will we be told the truth about his injury if serious?
Fingers crossed it's only minor.
It shouldn't take this long for a result should it?

Maybe the fact that nothing new has been reported confirms the initial diagnosis of a knee sprain is accurate? Just being optimistic.

the final deficit was 11 points... but for a while it went back and forth from 13 to 17 or 18

Ah okay. I know 11 was there somewhere. lol

[FLYINGPELICANS]

Does any one know what you can win Sunday at the game.. Considering asking my dad to go

[kinglio21093]

Sprained MCL, bone bruise, no structural damage. See? No biggie.

An MRI performed on New Orleans Hornets rookie Anthony Davis on Thursday revealed a sprained left medial collateral ligament, bone bruise, but no structural damage, the team said Thursday evening. He will miss the final three games of the season.
No surgery will be required.

Anthony Davis MRI showed sprained medial collateral ligament and bone bruse, but no structural damage. Davis is done for the season.

glad it is nothing major


too bad that... like our other 1st round pick from last year... the next time we see him will be in a Pelicans uniform

[Snarly]

Sprained MCL, bone bruise, no structural damage. See? No biggie.

depends on the grade. I take that back. No structural damage must imply that it's a grade 1.

[bojangles837]

Worse than Gordon's original diagnosed injury

[bradael]

Worse than Gordon's original diagnosed injury

I think that says more about Gordon than Davis... and why a lot of Hornets' fans want him gone.

[smcgull]

Nice to hear it is not that bad. And they are not sitting him just to lose games.

[takezor]

Nice to hear that it's not that serious!!! He will come back stronger next year.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

I know I am being cynical, but isn’t this the same thing we were told about Gordon?
I know Gordon and AD23 are completely different in the way they supposedly handle their injuries, but would the Pelicans come out and say that their franchise player will need surgery?

Are they honestly going to risk ticket sales?
I hope I am very very wrong, but sometimes I don’t think we are told the whole truth.

Too often we flame Gordon for taking two years to get over his injuries, but may be due to not being told the truth, not diagnosing the injury correct in the first place and the fact that
Gordon is injury prone because of the way he plays, we can surely cut him slack until at least the trade deadline next season.

The Hornets made that decision to sign him and they will make the decision to keep or trade him.
