New Orleans Pelicans PF Anthony Davis out for rest of season

NEW ORLEANS -- New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis, a three-time NBA All-Star, will miss the rest of the season due to knee and shoulder injuries that require surgery, coach Alvin Gentry said before Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

"We're going to shut him down, so he's done for the year," Gentry said.

Gentry also said the injuries, which include a torn torn labrum, likely would force Davis to miss the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

"If I was a betting man, probably so," Gentry said.

The Pelicans did not release specifics on Davis' left knee injury, which he sustained while setting a pick for teammate Jrue Holiday in a 117-112 loss to Portland on Friday night.

Davis' left knee appeared to hyperextend when Holiday, defended closely by Damian Lillard, collided with Davis at the end of the first half. Davis had 19 first-half points but never returned to the game, and after the game, Gentry said the injury did not appear to be serious.

"I just know that it's something that's very fixable," Gentry said. "It's just something that needs to be done in time (so that it can) heal and be ready to go. And the same thing with the shoulder."

Davis, the Pelicans' leading scorer (24.3), rebounder (10.3) and shot blocker (2.0), injured his left shoulder in November but has played through the pain. He has missed seven games due to injury this year and will miss the final 14 games of the season.
