Tyreke Evans: Out through All-Star break

Evans (knee) will remain out through the All-Star break, Pelicans radio play-by-play announcer Sean Kelley reports.

Analysis:

This doesn't come as a big surprise, as he has now missed five straight games, and is about to miss his sixth in a row Saturday against the Cavaliers. Dante Cunningham will get the start at small forward Saturday, with Alonzo Gee heading to the bench. This means the soonest Evans could return is Feb. 19 against the Sixers.
