Anthony Davis to return tonight

Anthony Davis will return to the Hornets lineup tonight when New Orleans takes on Washington, with the rookie expected to come in off of the bench according to head coach Monty Williams, as reported by Jim Eichenhofer of Hornets.com.

Davis, the No. 1 overall pick in last June's NBA Draft, missed the last 11 games with an ankle injury after missing time earlier this season with a concussion.

The 19-year-old is averaging 16 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks in just six games so far this season.
