Anthony Davis suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of their 128-112 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. The 25-year-old had his fingers taped together and played briefly before exiting with 1:18 left to play in regulation. His previous diagnosis was a left finger sprain which has a recovery timeline of one to two weeks.

The five-time All-Star is averaging 29.3 points, 13.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists, and 2.6 blocks per game this year — all of which are above his career averages. Without Anthony Davis, the Pelicans managed to sneak in a victory on Monday over the Memphis Grizzlies, 105-85.

They currently hold a 22-25 record for 12th place in the competitive Western Conference. It would be interesting to see how the Pelicans will survive without their best player on the court. We should expect the likes of Julius Randle and Nikola Mirotic to fill in the void left by Davis.

The Pelicans will be facing one of the best teams in the NBA without him. On Thursday, they'll battle with the Detroit Pistons, followed by the Oklahoma City Thunder, then the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday, the Houston Rockets on Wednesday, followed by the Denver Nuggets.
