The injury occurred when Davis stepped on Kings center Kosta Koufos' foot. Davis tried to remain in the game, but he checked out and hobbled to the locker room under his own power. X-rays were negative.

Davis has endured a litany of injuries throughout his career, but he has only missed six games so far this season. Davis, who left Tuesday's game briefly with a rib injury, is averaging over 28 points and 11 rebounds per game this season.
The Pelicans (38-26) can ill-afford a major injury from Davis considering DeMarcus Cousins is already out for the season with a torn Achilles.
