Davis, who is currently averaging a career-high in points (29.3), rebounds (13.3), assists (4.4) and steals (1.7) per game, will reportedly miss the next one-to-two weeks following a left index finger sprain suffered in the Pelicans' loss last night to the Portland Trail Blazers. https://twitter.com/PelicansNBA/status/1086654585358508033 The injury came when Davis took a swipe at the ball and unfortunately caught Portland's Zach Collins' elbow late in the fourth quarter.
