Anthony Davis has been listed as out for a Saturday night game between the Pelicans and the Trail Blazers. Davis left his team's game against the Jazz on Friday night with a groin injury. He could not put pressure on his left leg and was taken to a wheelchair when he got off the floor.

Right now, the extent of the injury is still unknown. An update likely will not come until Sunday, when the team returns to New Orleans, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.

While the Pelicans still have DeMarcus Cousins, it has to be frustrating for New Orleans to lose such an important player in what has so far been a successful season. Davis has struggled in the past to stay healthy, but there was optimism he would finally get to play close to a full season this time around. He played 75 games last season, the most of his career, and was having a great start.
Davis is currently averaging 25 points and 11 rebounds while shooting a career-high 35 percent from 3-point range.
