Pelicans' Tyreke Evans (right knee) out six to eight weeks

New Orleans Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans (knee) is expected to miss six to eight weeks from his knee surgery.

What It Means:

Evans has a long history of knee injuries, and this one stings for the Pelicans, as they are already thin at point guard.

Evans played in a career-best 79 games last season. He put up 16.6 points per game with a .477 Effective Field Goal Percentage, while posting a career-high 32.7 percent assist rate.
