Tyreke Evans to undergo MRI after injuring knee in playoff defeat

By , Reporter
New Orleans Pelicans shooting guard Tyreke Evans will need an MRI scan on his knee after picking up an injury in their NBA playoffs defeat to the Golden State Warriors.

Tyreke Evans will undergo an MRI scan after limping out of the New Orleans Pelicans' first playoff game against the Golden State Warriors.

The shooting guard banged knees with Andre Iguodala in the 106-99 loss for New Orleans, forcing him out of the game in the first half, although he was able to leave the Oracle Arena without the aid of crutches.

When asked whether Evans would play on Monday, Coach Monty Williams told reporters: "I'm not sure about Tyreke just yet. We've dealt with this all year. We'll see where he is tomorrow and then make adjustments."

The Pelicans are in the playoffs for the first time in four years.
