Tyreke Evans: Questionable for Monday's game

Evans (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Analysis:

There seemed to be optimism that Evans would suit up in both of the Pelicans' last two contests after an MRI conducted on his ailing right knee early last week showed nothing more than tendinitis, but the 26-year-old ended up sitting out games against the Kings and Nets. Because right knee issues have dogged Evans throughout his career, the Pelicans could end up restricting his court time once he's cleared to play again, though the team has yet to announce anything official on that front. Either way, it appears unlikely that Evans will be able to regain the fantasy value he enjoyed during the early part of January, making him a sell candidate as soon as he demonstrates he's healthy again.
