DENVER — New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis was held out for a second straight game because of a sprained right elbow.

Coach Alvin Gentry said Monday night before the game against the Denver Nuggets that while Davis still experienced some pain, the injury wasn’t considered “any big deal.” Gentry added that it’s early in the season and the team doesn’t want to take any chances.
