Pelicans fans boo Anthony Davis in return to Smoothie King Center

AD played his first game since requesting a trade

Anthony Davis played his first game with the Pelicans since requesting a trade in January and fans had ... mixed reactions.

While some fans continued to cheer for the All-Star, they were silenced by the piercing boos as AD entered the court.

Despite the trade demand from New Orleans' franchise star last week and a tantalizing offer from the Los Angeles Lakers, the organization opted not to make a deal before the NBA's trade deadline yesterday.

Now that the deadline is passed, it means Davis cannot be traded until the off-season.

Pelicans guard Jrue Holiday told media at training on Friday that he is not concerned with the recent news around a potential Davis' trade.

"It wasn't odd then and it wasn't odd before. I know the type of player Anthony is, I know the type of person he is, so when he steps on the court he comes professional, he comes ready to play," Holiday said.
