Anthony Davis (knee) is now 100 percent healthy after missing the final stretch of the regular season with a sprained MCL.
Davis has been fully healthy for about two weeks now. He did not require any kind of surgery and is fully expected to participate in Team USA's mini-camp in July alongside teammate Ryan Andersen. Davis will not participate in summer league, and that's not a huge surprise considering he proved he could play in his first year. Jun 7 - 9:12 AM

Anthony Davis and Ryan Anderson are expected to be invited to Team USA mini camp in July.

No surprise for either one after their seasons in New Orleans last year. Now each will be inaugural members of the new Pelicans squad, and both will be integral in what the team does into the future.

Anthony Davis said his biggest focus for the offseason is to get stronger.

Davis' 6'10/220 frame just couldn't handle the NBA's bigger interior players. It also played a role in him missing 18 games (21.9 percent) as a rookie. The fact that Davis was still able to average 13.5 points, 8.2 rebounds and 1.8 blocks speaks to his monstrous upside. Still just 20 years old, the Kentucky product has plenty of room for explosive growth.

Anthony Davis will miss the rest of the season with an MCL sprain and bruise to his left knee.

The good news is that there is no structural damage to the knee, which means this should have minimal impact on his outlook as a Pelican next season. Marcus Thornton landed on Davis' left knee on Wednesday and it put the interior part of his knee in an awkward position, so it's nice to see there won't be any long term issues from the injury. As for the rest of this season, Robin Lopez will be the last true big man left standing for New Orleans and is coming off a 20-point game on Wednesday, so he should be valuable in most formats. Ryan Anderson will likely slide into the starting lineup and Al-Farouq Aminu could be in line for more shots and playing time. Xavier Henry could also get some burn at small forward with some of these aforementioned players sliding to power forward more often.

Anthony Davis (knee) is expected to undergo an MRI on Thursday.

Davis left Wednesday's game vs. Sacramento with the injury and didn't return, and although Monty Williams thinks Davis "is OK," the MRI will reveal exactly what Davis is dealing with. Even if he doesn't have a serious injury, the Hornets could shut him down as a precaution. AD was reportedly "limping noticeably" to the team bus, but at least he was able to put some weight on his leg. Davis has already sustained a concussion, a stress reaction in his ankle and a shoulder injury in his rookie season. Ryan Anderson would step in if Davis has to sit out.

Anthony Davis suffered a left knee injury in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's game and went to the locker room.

It didn't look good. Marcus Thornton drove to the hoop and landed on Davis' knee. Davis was in a lot of pain and walked off the floor under his own power.

Anthony Davis - F - Pelicans

Anthony Davis went off for 18 points, 14 rebounds, four steals and a block on 7-of-14 shooting in 38 minutes against Dwight Howard and the Lakers on Tuesday.

It might be too little, too late for Davis' owners, but the Hornets have finally decided to cut him loose. He had 24 points, 12 boards and three blocks on Friday, and things are looking up for next season, when he should play more minutes as long as he can stay healthy.

Anthony Davis - F - Pelicans

Anthony Davis scored 24 points on 10-of-16 shooting with 12 rebounds and three blocks in Friday's loss to the Jazz.

Davis is capable of this on any given night but he hasn't been able to convert with great consistency. He's still looking at a big finish and should be in all lineups. Greivis Vasquez added 21 points, five boards, and nine assists in the loss.

The Hornets want rookie Anthony Davis to add weight to his frame.

Davis, who stands 6'11" and weighs only 220 lbs, apparently has an "unreal" fascination with pizza, according to Monty Williams. "He eats pizza, man. It's like if anyone says, 'P....I' and then 'Pizza,' he perks up," Williams said. Davis likes a large pizza with double pepperoni and double sausage, for those who were wondering. The Hornets don't want Davis to bulk up too much, and Williams' target for Davis is "an extra 15 pounds of muscle."

Anthony Davis grabbed nine boards vs. the Warriors, but he shot just 2-of-11 from the field to finish with six points, zero assists, one steal and one block.

The good news is that he still played 32 minutes despite battling foul trouble, a sign that Monty Williams will continue to air him out in the Hornets' final seven games.

Anthony Davis - F - Pelicans

Anthony Davis paced New Orleans to a win on Sunday with 17 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, one steal, two blocks and zero turnovers.

Davis has found his groove in March, and this is probably the month owners should focus on when evaluating him for next season -- he's averaging 15.9 points on 55.8 percent shooting, 9.7 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 1.6 blocks, and 1.8 turnovers in just under 31 minutes per game.

Monty Williams says rookie Anthony Davis needs "to live in the weight room" this summer.

Davis has been better in March, but it's been a disappointing year for a player that was the preseason choice for Rookie of the Year. Part of Davis' problem has been numerous injuries that have cost him 15 games so far this year. We expect, or at least hope, that once Davis adds some weight and spends this summer in the gym his second year will be much more productive than his first.

Anthony Davis scored 18 points in Friday's surprising 90-83 win over the Grizzlies, adding 15 boards, two assists and two blocks in 37 minutes.

He was three boards off of his career high and the rookie is coming around in March, averaging 16.1 points, 10.1 boards and 1.8 blocks on 54.1 percent shooting in the month. He looks poised for a strong finish to the season.

Anthony Davis is back to full health after dealing with a stomach ailment.

In other words, AD is good to go so owners should be sure he's in their lineup.

Anthony Davis played through an illness on Wednesday, scoring nine points with eight boards, one assist, one steal and two blocks in 28 minutes.

He had a stomach bug heading into this one and wasn't announced as the starter until he already took part in warmups. Davis getting 28 minutes despite having an illness is nice to see and maybe Monty Williams won't be toying with his minutes much.
