LOS ANGELES – Anthony Davis often relies on his Pelicans teammates to set him up.
Tonight, he gave a nod to one of them.
Davis started the All-Star game wearing DeMarcus Cousins’ No. 0 jersey. Cousins and Davis were both voted starters then drafted by LeBron James, but Cousins can’t play due to injury.
Marc J. Spears of The Undefeated:
To start the 2018 NBA All-Star Game, Anthony Davis is wearing injured New Orleans Pelicans teammate DeMarcus Cousins’ All-Star jersey. Davis will wear his familiar No. 23 jersey later in the game.

Very cool gesture by Davis. He’s an excellent teammate.
