BEIJING (AP) - New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis has left Wednesday’s preseason game against the Houston Rockets after suffering what the team called a right ankle sprain.
Davis fell to the court in the first quarter of Wednesday’s game in Beijing, the last of the NBA’s two exhibitions in China. He re-entered the game briefly but soon walked to the locker room. He did not return.
Davis, the first overall pick of the 2012 NBA Draft, is a three-time All-Star who averaged 24.3 points and 10.3 rebounds per game last season.
