Tyreke Evans timetable of six to eight weeks released

Alvin Gentry says the team needs to find a way to keep their head above water until January.

In a pregame conference against the Orlando Magic, Alvin Gentry announced that Tyreke Evans will likely miss the next 6-8 weeks following yesterday's arthroscopic surgery.

"I don't know exactly. They give six to eight weeks. If you know Tyreke, if there is anyway of getting back earlier, he'll do that. But I know he'll be back as soon as he possibly can. He loves to play. He can play in pain; he's done it time and time again.
