Tyreke Evans: (Knee) Won't Return Saturday

Evans won't return to Saturday's game at Golden State due to a left knee contusion, the Pelicans' official site reports.

Analysis:

Evans sustained the injury in the first half, and at the end of halftime, word emerged that he was probable to return. However, the Pelicans haven't made a game of their playoff opener, so holding him out is likely more of a precautionary measure than anything. Heading into Monday's contest, expect him to be considered questionable until further notice.
