It wasn't enough though as the Pelicans were outscored by their opponents in the fourth quarter 27-19. They became the Knicks' second-straight prey in three days, 114-109.

The first overall pick of the 2012 NBA draft had another superb day for New Orleans. He finished with 33 points, 12 rebounds, and four assists.

After the game, the team deemed their talisman as day-to-day.

Already plagued by a costly injury before, moments like this are always scary for his fans and supporters of the Pelicans. Anthony Davis sat out the remainder of the 2015-16 season with a shoulder injury that limited him to 61 appearances for the Pelicans.

Davis continues to produce solid numbers this season, averaging 26.6 points per game and 12.7 rebounds per game. Losing him would affect the Pelicans deeply, as they look to qualify for their second-straight playoff appearance.
