Anthony Davis ‘Going After’ MVP in All-Star Game
Shortly after Anthony Davis was announced as a starter for the Feb. 19 NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans, he made it known to Charles Barkley, Shaq and Kenny Smith on the NBA Tip-off show what his top objective will be for the game.
”I’m definitely going after trying to get MVP, especially here in New Orleans,” Davis said during the show Thursday night shortly after the 10 starters were announced. ”Coach Gentry told me every time I catch it, put it up. So I’m going to go out there and represent the city and try to walk away with that MVP for sure.”

Jusuf Nurkic can’t seem to catch a figurative break when it comes to literal breaks.
The 7-0 center out of Bosnian and Herzegovina suffered a broken right wrist in the third quarter of Thursday’s game versus the Pacers Thursday night at the Moda Center.
The injury occurred around the 8:40 mark of the third quarter, as Nurkic fell after contesting a drive attempt by Pacers center Myles Turner. Nurkic took a hard fall to the floor and remained there for some time before getting up and immediately heading to the locker room with members of the team’s medical staff. X-rays taken taken during the game showed a fracture to his right wrist, which, depending on the severity and location of the break, could sideline the center for the foreseeable future.
