New Orleans Pelicans fans are going through a rollercoaster of emotions right now and it showed as they booed and cheered wantaway star Anthony Davis.

Davis returned to the court from injury — and a trade request —against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Friday and there is a sense Pelicans fans are not exactly sure what to do.

They were positive what they wanted to do when Davis was announced in the starting line-up as boos rained down from as far up as the nosebleed section.

Davis' agent Rich Paul told ESPN in January the five-time All-Star would not re-sign with New Orleans when he becomes a free agent in 2020 and he would prefer to be traded.

However, Davis was not traded before Thursday's deadline and he remains a Pelicans player.

So, when he had success against the Timberwolves, fans cheered it.

But every other time he touched the ball early in the game, he was booed.

Fans even jeered and cheered him on the same possession.

He was booed when he caught the ball on the wing and then cheered when he made the shot.
