After spending the first four years of his NBA career with the Sacramento Kings, Tyreke Evans is now in his first with the New Orleans Pelicans.
In the previous two seasons Evans started 122 of the 128 games he appeared in. So far this season he’s started zero games. The plan was for that to change for Friday’s nationally televised game against the Phoenix Suns.
Initially, it looked as though the plan needed to be revised after Evans got stuck in an elevator before the game:
New Orleans coach Monty Williams says he plans to start Tyreke Evans tonight – but Evans is stuck on an elevator. #SunsvsPelicans

Evans uploaded this video to his Instagram account.
Thankfully, all ended well.
Ding! The elevator has allowed Pelicans' Tyreke Evans to report for work. He arrived about 15 minutes ago and will start. #SunsvsPelicans
