Evans (hamstring) is considered probable to make his preseason debut Thursday against Oklahoma City, Nakia Hogan of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

A hamstring injury has kept Evans from seeing the floor thus far in the preseason, but it appears as though he's finally ready to return to action. Evans played well as the fill-in point guard after Jrue Holiday was lost to injury last season, but he'll slide back to small forward with both Holiday and Eric Gordon healthy. The wing may not be Evans' most natural spot, though, and it's possible he could shift to a sixth man role at some point to see more time in the backcourt.
