Tyreke Evans return to the Pelicans rotation is postponed due to calf tightness

Just a few days ago, there existed a reasonable belief that Tyreke Evans would be making his first appearance of the season against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Welp, scratch that idea.

Earlier today Dell Demps announced that Evans has recently experienced calf tightness so he will not be in uniform on Friday. However, it is important to note that the issue is with his left leg, not the right leg that underwent three knee procedures.

Justin Verrier reported that Tyreke is without a timetable because team management will not play him until he’s fully healthy.
