New Orleans Pelicans superstar Anthony Davis left Monday's game against the Houston Rockets after colliding with teammate Tyreke Evans while chasing down a rebound under the basket. Davis stayed down for a moment after appearing to take a shot to the left side of his head.
He left the contest and was later ruled out due to concussion symptoms.

The Pelicans are now 2-3 this season when an injury limits Davis to under 20 minutes. New Orleans fell 112-111 to the Rockets.
Worse still, the team is 0-5 without him.
Davis is averaging 23.3 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 2.5 blocks per game which, while stellar, are lower than most of his numbers from a season ago. His PER is 24.9 after leading the league with 30.8 in 2014-15.
