The Anthony Davis saga continues.
Anthony Davis has dominated the NBA headlines as late due to his very public commerce request out New Orleans. The Pelicans star was by no means moved on the deadline and it in the end led to the firing Dell Demps. Effectively, within the wake all of it, the Pelicans have been reportedly instructed by the NBA that they must play Davis or they might danger being fined by the league. Though, it seems as if the group is not too all for doing that and would slightly defend their commerce asset.
Per the Instances’ Marc Stein:
There have been robust alerts in Charlotte that the Pelicans – with Danny Ferry now serving as their appearing normal supervisor within the wake Friday’s firing Dell Demps – intend to re-engage the N.B.A. this week in hopes convincing league ficials to rethink their stance about forcing them to play Davis.
The N.B.A. Gamers Affiliation would presumably become involved if New Orleans is profitable, however I might advise the Pelicans to carry agency. Take any tremendous that comes. The group has performed higher, scrappier ball with out Davis anyway – and heaven forbid he suffers a critical damage within the common season’s canine days.
It is unlikely the NBA will give in to the Pelicans contemplating the principles are fairly robust on issues resembling this however the scenario is beginning to get into uncharted territory so there isn’t a telling what would possibly occur right here.
The Pelicans are having a weak season, as they’re ranked 13th within the Western Convention with a file 26-33.
