Evans played 13 minutes off the bench Saturday in a win over the Pelicans. He finished with three points (1-1 FG, 1-2 FT) and added three rebounds and a blocked shot.

EDGE Analysis

After averaging 25 minutes in Dallas' first two games of the season, Evans has played a total of 24 minutes in the four subsequent outings. He remains a limited option on a veteran-laden team.

Evans will start at small forward in Thursday's game against the Clippers.

EDGE Analysis

With both Chandler Parsons (knee) and Wesley Matthews (Achilles) out, Evans will slide into the starting lineup at small forward. Evans saw 26 minutes in the season opener and scored seven points, but with so many injuries to the Mavericks, he'll move into the starting lineup and could very well see a bump in both minutes and overall production.

Evans scored seven points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt) Wednesday in a win over the Suns. He recorded six rebounds, one block, and one steal in 26 minutes of action.

EDGE Analysis

Evans looked solid in his Dallas debut and played a team-high 26 minutes off the bench. Coach Rick Carlisle has already said he will utilize Evans at a variety of positions, giving him plenty of opportunities to contribute.

Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said Thursday that Evans is expected to see time at both power forward and center this season, Earl K. Sneed of FOX Sports Southwest reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 6-foot-9 Evans brings plenty of athleticism to the table, but he's a bit unrefined as a post player and received just seven minutes per game with the Jazz last season. Evans is working to expand his range to the three-point line during training camp in an effort to become a more all-around threat, though he doesn't figure to see enough run in order to earn many opportunities from deep.

Evans agreed to a two-year deal with the Mavericks worth the league minimum, Marc Stein of ESPN reports. Evans had spent his entire career in Utah where he only averaged double-digit minutes once during those five seasons. Other than a Slam Dunk Champion trophy on his mantle, the 27-year-old failed to make a lasting impression on the court during his tenure in Utah and there's a slim chance that he'll be able to improve his standing over the next two seasons under coach Rick Carlisle.

Evans spent most of his fifth season in the NBA on the bench but did manage to average seven minutes on the court over 38 total appearances. Evans saw a career-high 18.3 minutes per game last year but the coaching change to Quin Snyder this season resulted in Evans getting stuck on the pine. Most notably Evans will become a free agent this offseason if the Jazz choose not to offer him a new deal. Either way, it's unlikely that the former Slam Dunk Champion will have a large role on any team that he finds himself on next season.

Evans has been given just 13 total minutes on the court over the first three games in April. Evans has seen more time on the court in the latter half of the season than in the first half, although he still doesn't spend enough time on the hardwood to make him relevant in standard leagues. The tenured 27-year-old hasn't been given more than 18 minutes in any game this season and it's unlikely that he'll break that benchmark before the season comes to an end.

Evans came off the bench for six minutes in Monday's destruction of the Hornets. Evans sees limited time off the bench in Utah and that's not expected to change moving forward as the season comes to a close. Unless a wave of injuries hurts the Jazz soon, the five-year pro is slated to average less than 10 minutes per game for the fourth time in his career.

Evans came off the bench for 13 minutes during Friday's lopsided victory over the Nuggets. He managed to record one rebound, one assist, and one block during his brief stint on the court. Evans is an afterthought in Utah and saw garbage time during Friday's game. He and Gordon Hayward are Utah's longest tenured players but that doesn't make Evans into a viable candidate for production. As a result, the pride of Western Kentucky is better left on the waiver wire in almost every depth of format.

Evans (illness) was available off the bench for Friday's matchup against the Suns, but he was not inserted into the game at the hand of coach Quin Snyder. Evans was dealing with an illness but his availability for Friday's game denotes that he's returned to health, and per usual this season, he stayed on the bench. The tenured Jazzman has fallen out of favor with Snyder and is not expected to play significant minutes at any point this season.
