Last night, Tyreke Evans returned to the Pelicans lineup, and Alvin Gentry inserted him right into the starting lineup in place of Eric Gordon. Leading into the game, Gordon had started 371 of his 388 games in his career. Since come to New Orleans, he has come off the bench just 3 times, all returns from injury related situations.
This time around, he was 100% healthy but only saw 20 minutes of action against the Memphis Grizzlies. Norris Cole figured more prominently as evidenced by his 23 minutes.
