New Orleans Hornets rookies Anthony Davis and Austin Rivers both have been ruled out for tonight's game against the Philadelphia 76ers.
Davis has been sidelined by a minor concussion since the middle of New Orleans' second game of the season last Friday night. Rivers has a sprained left index finger and will be out for the first time.
Davis, the first overall choice in the 2012 draft, has averaged 14.5 points, 6.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks in his first two games.
Chris Ivory celebrates at the end of a 22-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. Ivory carried 10 times for a team-best 48 yards in his first game this season.
The Saints beat the Philadelphia Eagles 28-13 at the Superdome, showing flashes of their old brilliance.
“Bend but don’t break,” could have been the mantra for the historically bad New Orleans Saints defense during a game that featured some defensive miscues and a few spectacular plays by the Eagles’ skill position players — most notably a 77-yard bomb from Michael Vick to DeSean Jackson in the third quarter.

A traveling exhibit about professional football in America is coming to the National World War II Museum in New Orleans.
"Gridiron Glory, The Best of the Pro Football Hall of Fame" includes a section about football during World War II. It also will have a home-team area for each host city.
It's part of the Hall of Fame's 50-year celebration and features more than 200 of its artifacts.
The exhibit opens Oct. 6 in Pittsburgh. It moves to New Orleans for an opening on Jan. 26 — just before the Super Bowl — and runs through May 5.
