Tyreke Evans Questionable on Wednesday

Memphis Grizzlies guard/forward Tyreke Evans (illness) is considered questionable to play in Wednesday's contest against the San Antonio Spurs.

Minnesota Timberwolves guard/forward Jamal Crawford (toe) is questionable to play against the Portland Trail Blazers on Wednesday. Head coach Tom Thibodeau said Crawford is feeling better, but it's unlikely he'll play on Wednesday.
