The last time Anthony Davis played for the New Orleans Pelicans before Friday, he hadn't yet publicly requested a trade. New Orleans fans didn't exactly welcome the six-time All-Star in his return to action against the Minnesota Timberwolves following a finger injury.
When Davis first touched the ball, more boos were heard. However, a smattering of cheers came after his first basket.
