Evans (knee) isn't expected to play Wednesday in Phoenix, John Reid of the New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Analysis:

Evans was hoping to make his first appearance of the season Wednesday, but it looks like the Pelicans want him to rest up a little more and turn his sights to Friday's game against the Clippers. Even though he's likely in store for limited minutes upon his return, Evans should be scooped up off the waiver wire in most leagues where he's available, given his production over the course of his career.
