Tyreke Evans Expected To Play As Tip-off Approaches In Sacramento

... play. I think I’ve got to help him in that respect, in that if he’s still hurting, I won’t play him a lot of minutes.”. Gentry said if Evans does play, he will be limited to no more than 20 minutes. Other notes from pregame. Terrence Jones (right thumb sprain) is out for Sunday’s game, along with E’Twaun Moore (personal). Meanwhile, Alexis Ajinca (personal) has returned to the team and is available to play. If Evans is in uniform, Gentry will have a total of 11 players at his disposal, otherwise it will be just 10. The Pelicans won a one-sided Friday game at Minnesota, despite only having nine players. …. Kings first-year head coach Dave Joerger – a familiar foe for New Orleans, having previously coached in the Southwest Division with Memphis – on comparisons between Anthony Davis and Sacramento star De Marcus Cousins: “They’re both highly-skilled stars of our game and can both score.

Nets, Pelicans Talking Trade Centered On Brook Lopez, Tyreke Evans And 2018 Pick

... why it wouldn’t. The Nets certainly could use a first round pick next year. Unlike this year when they will get the Celtics’s first round pick, they have no pick, first or second round, next year. (New Orleans has all its own picks through 2023, but no one else’s.). Tyreke Evans, 27, is playing on an expiring contract worth a little more than $10 million. Problem is that he has been injury prone most of his career. He’s only played 24 games this year after playing only 25 last year. He’s had recurring ankle and knee issues. The 6’6” shooting guard hasn’t started a single game for the Pelicans this season and is averaging only 9.7 points in less than 18 minutes a game.

Nikola Vucevic For Tyreke Evans, Terrence Jones And 2018 First-round Pick

... undoubtedly, is just that. The New Orleans Pelicans have searched wide and far for answers at the 5-spot, and the only clear thing thus far is that neither Omer Asik nor Alexis Ajinca represent the answer. That means New Orleans must be active in the trade market. Davis prefers to play power forward, and he is likely best off there. After all, home is where the heart is. Tim Duncan made a career of being a center at the 4-spot, and a similar progression for Davis is both likely and best. That means plugging that void next to him with a capable mid-range shooter, a strong post scorer, and a young player on a reasonable contract makes perfect sense. For both Orlando and New Orleans, that is. The Magic are clearly in another rebuild (again) after dealing Serge Ibaka yesterday to the Toronto Raptors. With Bismack Biyombo ...

... continue to make Sacramento proud. The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski  first reported the deal.
