Pelicans' Tyreke Evans: To sit out for rest Tuesday vs. Sixers
Evans will sit out Tuesday's game against the 76ers for rest purposes.
Analysis:
Evans has missed all but two games this season, after starting the year on the sidelines while working back from knee surgery. With the Pelicans going into a back-to-back set with games on Tuesday and Wednesday, they'll keep Evans sidelined in that first matchup in order to avoid a heavy workload on his knee. That said, he's fully expected to be back in the lineup Wednesday against the Thunder, although there's a good chance he'll see limited minutes. With Evans sidelined, look for guys like Buddy Hield and E'Twaun Moore to pick up some extra minutes.
