NEW ORLEANS -- Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans will sit out Wednesday's home matchup against the Utah Jazz with a left ankle sprain, his first missed game outside of planned rest since returning from an 11-month absence in mid-December.
Evans, who was originally listed as doubtful, suffered the injury in the Pelicans' road loss on Saturday to the Washington Wizards and was forced out of the second half of Monday's win at home over the Phoenix Suns.
