I don't think he will help us much in this series, but I just want the guy to play because he has never been in the playoffs before and he final gets in only to get hurt. That stinks

Not that im a doctor but 3 years ago I was playing volleyball and I felt a pop and had a little pain and it turned out to be a torn meniscus.
Evans is DTD, he isn't limping at practice called it a "sore knee"
no word on MRI, though
He hasn't been able to run full speed yet, but said the pain is better than yesterday. I am kind of hoping they sit him for Game 2, so they can have him for Game 3 and beyond. That's over 120 hrs of rest and rehab since the injury occurred. Should be enough
I believe that big chunk of games he missed was a knee sprain. Sprains are ligaments, strains are muscles. Both are tears and graded by severity. Either can be played through depending on how bad. Pain tolerance of the individual is also an important factor as well.
Edit: Double post
now that this is back up... 'Reke is questionable tomorrow w/ a deep bone bruise... basically a pain tolerance issue... and as we all know the Wolve'Reke... if it's his decision at all he'll play
For Game 2 vs.GSW - Tyreke Evans (left knee contusion) is QUESTIONABLE.

Pelicans guard Tyreke Evans says MRI on his left knee showed a deep bone bruise. He's a game-time decision for Game 2.

I Love the Wolvereke!
Ok i coined this name. I lost out on the Blender name, not this time. I invented Wolvereke dammit!
I've just invented Anthony Davisaurus.
lol tyreke isn't human.
Whether he makes it back for this series or not doesn't really mean that much to me. The best news from this is that this is not the type of injury that should affect him in the offseason and going into next season.
i'd sit jrue out just to be safe & leave it up to Tyreke on how he feels
