NEW ORLEANS -- Anthony Davis is considered day-to-day after suffering a left wrist contusion in the first half of the Pelicans' 94-87 loss to the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday night.
X-rays on the wrist came back negative, according to New Orleans coach Alvin Gentry.
Davis collided with Raptors guard Norman Powell in midair on an alley-oop attempt with 6.7 seconds left in the second quarter and appeared to hit his wrist on the rim before falling hard to the ground.
He stayed in the game to take the two free throw attempts allotted for the called foul but did not return after halftime and was ruled out for the game at the start of the fourth quarter.
Tied 46-46 at the half, the Pelicans shot 38 percent from the floor and scored 41 points without Davis the rest of the way
"Him being out definitely hurt us tonight," said DeMarcus Cousins, who finished with 25 points but was 1-for-10 in the second half. "That being said, we've got to find a way to pick up the pieces. It's unfortunate."
Davis has missed four games this season, including one for planned rest, and now parts of 11 more. The Pelicans are 2-2 in games Davis does not play and 4-7 when he exits for some portion of a game.
The 23-year-old All-Star missed a career-high 21 games last season, including the final 14 to undergo an ultrasonic debridement procedure on his left knee. He has yet to play more than 68 games during any season in his NBA career.
Davis finished Wednesday's contest with seven points and four rebounds in 17 minutes. He was not available for comment after the game.
