Pelicans' Anthony Davis: Posts double-double amid ankle injury

Davis (ankle) posted 15 points (5-15 FG, 5-6 FT), 15 rebounds, three blocks, two steals and two assists across 29 minutes during Tuesday's 100-77 win over the Trail Blazers.

Analysis:

Davis went to the locker room after coming down awkwardly on his ankle in the second quarter, but he was cleared to return and came back to play 16 more minutes in what was a comfortable victory. The ailment did not appear to hamper Davis upon his return, as he actually posted a better field goal percentage in the second half and was active on the glass while rounding out his double-double. While it appears to be a non-issue at this point, the All-Star bears watching over the next couple of days to ensure there are no lingering effects.
