The New Orleans Pelicans attempted to block Anthony Davis from playing in another game with the franchise, according to "a litany of sources" that spoke with Scott Kushner of The Advocate.

The NBA and NBPA, however, pressured the Pelicans to continue playing Davis despite his trade request.

Davis made a trade request shortly before the deadline, but the Pelicans opted not to execute a deal and will instead wait until the offseason to resolve the situation.

Alvin Gentry has reached the point where he doesn't want to speak about the Davis situation anymore.

“We have to get to a point where we are not bringing this up every time I step in front of the camera,” Gentry said. “To be honest with you, most of the answers, if you want them, you have to go to him and ask them. Whatever our new normal is, we want to get back to that. We want to put this stuff behind us.”
