Pelicans' Anthony Davis has missed 11 games already this season, but will sit the last four because of back spasms, the team announced Thursday. Davis will join Eric Gordon (left knee), who has already been ruled out for the rest of the season.
The Pelicans have had a disappointing season, but Davis' progression has been a blaring bright spot. At just 21 years old, he has superstar written all over him, so naturally the team is protecting its star piece very carefully.
