Pelicans Daily Links: Tuesday

Return of Evans, Cole will be a boost, not a reboot for Pelicans: To be clear, this is not a fresh start. When guards Tyreke Evans and Norris Cole finally take the court for the New Orleans Pelicans — likely in Tuesday’s game at the Smoothie King Center against the Memphis Grizzlies — New Orleans can’t wipe the slate clean. -- The Advocate

Anthony Davis on the retiring Kobe Bryant: ‘You don’t really think of the Lakers without Kobe’: Kobe Bryant had torn his right rotator cuff. But, hey, he had another arm. And so in January, after inuring that right shoulder dunking against the Pelicans in New Orleans, he just used the left one. -- The Advocate

Anthony Davis still amazed by Kobe Bryant's performance last season after rotator cuff tear: Last season during a game played in late January, Anthony Davis couldn't believe what he was seeing at the Smoothie King Center. Kobe Bryant suffered a rotator cuff tear in his right shoulder on a dunk attempt, but he stayed in the game. The Lakers lost to the Pelicans and Bryant scored only 14 points, but he still made shots using his left hand. -- The Times-Picayune

Evans, Cole expected to make their debuts Tuesday vs. Grizzlies: It has taken a month into the season, but the New Orleans Pelicans are finally expecting to get some of the injured players back. Guards Tyreke Evans and Norris Cole are both expected to make their long-awaited debuts on Tuesday night against the Memphis Grizzlies at the Smoothie King Center. -- The Times-Picayune
