New Orleans Pelicans forward Anthony Davis will return from injury against the Detroit Pistons tonight.

Davis has missed the last five games with a shoulder injury, but coach Monty Williams has said that he performed well in training this week.

He told reporters: "Yes, he has been chomping at the bit to get back on the floor. His workouts have gone well. He had a really good workout yesterday and a semi-workout this morning and passed everything with flying colours. We are happy to have him back in the lineup."

Davis averages 23.9 points a game so far this season.
