Anthony Davis to miss Wolves game with finger injury

The good news is Pelicans Coach Monty Williams said in pregame that he does not expect Davis to miss any additional games beyond tonight. New Orleans’ next game is Saturday vs. Chicago back in Louisiana.
“It just makes sense,” Williams said of not allowing Davis to play against the Timberwolves. “We could’ve held him out last night, but he was so adamant about playing that I let him go. Now we have to be his brains and make sure he doesn’t hurt his finger more. But he should be ready for our next game.”
Williams did not reveal who will take Davis’ place in the starting lineup, but there aren’t a ton of options numbers-wise. The Pelicans are again down to just 10 healthy players. On Tuesday, the bench consisted of Greg Stiemsma, Jeff Withey, Darius Miller, Tyreke Evans, Austin Rivers and Anthony Morrow.
