The before and after snapshot of Tyreke Evans' season would be the statistical equivalent of those bodybuilding advertisements that once appeared in the back of sports magazines, in which the 98-pound weakling is transformed into a muscle-bound Adonis.
In his case, however, it wasn't a weightlifting program that brought about the improvement. It was a needle to his right knee, injecting "platelet-rich plasma" and making it pain-free again.
Evans has scored in double figures in six consecutive games, his longest such streak as a Pacer. The most recent came in Sunday's 120-95 victory over Charlotte, in which he finished with 14 points, five assists and one turnover in 15 ½ minutes.
