Adrian Wojnarowski - @wojespn: After considering the possibility of shutting down All-NBA center Anthony Davis, the New Orleans Pelicans plan to allow Davis back into the lineup for the rest of the season, league sources tell ESPN.

Not a fan of this. AD is injury prone and god forbid a Boogie injury happens to him. Huge gamble for everyone.

This is insane.

Dude should not play.

If he injures so much as a finger, Klutch & Co. will say that’s it’s irrepairable and may be a life long injury; therefore, he’s not worth as much.

And that’s only for a finger; imagine a REAL injury.

Let the saga begin.

You have to play him for player relation reasons. You don’t want players thinking we did AD dirty by not letting him play. You have to do this to recruit players to stay here. At least they can’t say the Pels don’t care about their players.

Crewz said this was coming.

Unfortunately it’s a lose-lose situation for us. The fans will rightfully boo AD relentlessly, and the media will give us shite for doing it.

I’m sure they don’t want to but they have to in order to please the league and players association. They are probably not going to play him a lot though. Maybe 20 minutes a game.

I want someone to think of a good reason why the pelicans would decide to do this on their own.

It’s so painfully obvious someone is forcing their hand. What do we stand to gain?

FRICK. THE. N. B. A.

That’s some bullshite

What are you talking about man. AD is the one who quit on the team. And if anything we are paying him to sit his arse on the bench and not get injured so he can sign his next contract. Pelicans have absolutely no obligation to play him. This organization just does everything wrong.

If the fans continue to boo him there is no way the Pels don't pull him off the court. It's not a good look for AD or the Pels or for any player that wants to come here in the future in free agency.
This has to be a temporary call to fan the flames of the NBA and AD's camp. Hopefully it gets so awkward after a week that all parties realize it's time to sit him

Frankly I don't know why Davis would want to play. He has just as much to lose $$wise.

BTW, everything is pointing to the NBA forcing the issue on letting him play.
