Tyreke Evans is aiming to return to the court within the next week, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Evans (knee) is aiming to return to the court within the next week, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Evans had an original recovery timetable of six-to-eight weeks, so this is a bit sooner than expected. Considering it came from Evans himself, it should be taken with a grain of salt, as it more or less could be wishful thinking. Either way, if he's able to return at that point in time, it would be great news for fantasy owners, as Evans has yet to play this year and is likely itching to get back in the action. Evans finished last season with averages of 16.6 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.6 assists per game, but may need some time to get his legs back under him before returning to that form.
