Pelicans forward Anthony Davis will better know the extent of his groin injury once the team examines him in New Orleans on Sunday, league sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Davis will sit out Saturday night's game against the Portland Trail Blazers with what is officially being called a groin strain, the team announced.
Davis suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of Friday night's 114-108 loss to the Utah Jazz. He was injured as he battled for a rebound with Utah's Derrick Favors underneath the basket with 11:35 left in the game. He remained down for several moments as trainers examined him, and he could not put any weight on his left leg as he was helped off the court.
Davis was immediately placed in a wheelchair and taken to the locker room. He did not return.
Pelicans coach Alvin Gentry said afterward that Davis would undergo an MRI exam.
At the time of the injury, Davis had 19 points and 10 rebounds, and the Pelicans led 84-80.
