Tyreke Evans' status with the Pacers is murky at the moment, but this much we know for sure: Edmond Sumner will be in the starting lineup again for Wednesday's game at Washington. And this much we can surmise: Sumner might be able to keep that spot for the remainder of the season.
Having survived the Beamon-like leap (Google if necessary) from playing against the Erie BayHawks last Wednesday to defending Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors on Monday with no collateral damage, Sumner finds himself in a stare-down with an opportunity that was nearly unimaginable a couple of weeks ago.
