VIDEO: Ryan Anderson returns from 18-game absence, throws down two-handed slam

Ryan Anderson doesn't look like a player who missed 18 games with a knee sprain. 

The New Orleans Pelicans forward made his presence felt in his first contest since late February, rising up and throwing down a two-handed jam over the outstretched arm of Los Angeles Lakers big man Jordan Hill. 

A win over the Lakers on Wednesday would move the Pelicans to 1.5 games behind the Oklahoma City Thunder for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
