New Orleans Pelicans superstar big man Anthony Davis won't play on Tuesday against the Golden State Warriors, officially ending his tenure with the franchise.

Davis will be traded by the Pelicans this summer.

The Pelicans selected Davis with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NBA Draft out of Kentucky. Davis has made the All-Star team six times and is the franchise leader in points, rebounds, blocks, points per game and player efficiency rating.

Davis has only made it past the first round of the playoffs once with the Pelicans. New Orleans traded for All-Star center DeMarcus Cousins in February of 2017 and was hoping AD and Boogie would remain in The Big Easy for the rest of their careers.

Cousins, however, tore his Achilles tendon last season. The Pelicans didn't re-sign Cousins, who signed with the Golden State Warriors last offseason.

Boogie recently said after all the goofy stuff that happened with him last summer in free agency, he knew Davis was going to request a trade from the Pelicans. AD signed with agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports before the 2018-19 season started. Paul, of course is the agent of Los Angeles Lakers star small forward LeBron James.

Davis played in 56 games this season. He averaged 25.9 points, 12.0 rebounds and 3.9 assists.
