Anthony Davis Remains Under Evaluation For A Mild Concussion

"New Orleans Hornets rookie power forward Anthony Davis remains under evaluation for a mild concussion and there is no timetable on his return.

Davis, the No. 1 overall pick in the June NBA draft, suffered a mild concussion in last Friday's game against the Utah Jazz and missed the only opportunity to play in his hometown of Chicago this past Saturday when the Hornets defeated the Chicago Bulls 89-82 at the United Center.

"He's got to have testing done,'' Hornets Coach Monty Williams said after Monday's practice. "He was in practice today, but he's still being evaluated.''

Davis was seen near the end of practice Monday at the Alario Center with his practice gear on, joking with teammates.

Although Williams spoke out about the NBA's strict concussion policy before Saturday night's game against the Bulls, he is not expected to be fined by the NBA, according to a league source Monday.

Williams said what's happening in football has impacted everybody. In response to the league's concussion policy, he said everybody is getting treated like they have on white gloves and pink drawers."
