Evans was hit in the face with an inadvertent elbow during Tuesday's game against the Mavericks and went to the locker room, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans stayed down on the court for an extended period of time, so it would be surprising if he returned. There's a chance he'll enter the league's concussion protocol. If that's the case, he could be looking at a multi-game absence.

Evans had nine points (3-6 FG, 3-4 FT), four rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Thursday's 99-84 loss to the Timberwolves.
EDGE Analysis
Evans has been limited to single digits in scoring in nine straight appearances, and he had earned less than 18 minutes in seven consecutive contests prior to this one. Despite being a recent first round pick (2018) for the Warriors, the sophomore simply hasn't been involved enough to trust in most fantasy formats.

Evans (hip) logged 11 minutes off the bench and finished with two points (1-4 FG), one rebound and one assist Monday in the Warriors' 110-102 loss to the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
After missing the previous 21 games with a strained hip, Evans stepped into a small rotational role in his return to action, replacing Jordan Poole on the second unit. As he gets more game action under his belt, Evans could push for more substantial minutes, but he'll be behind Eric Paschall, Glenn Robinson III and Alec Burks on the depth chart for now.

Evans (hip) has been cleared to play Monday against Memphis.
EDGE Analysis
Evans has missed the last 21 games while nursing a left hip strain, but he's been given the green light to return Monday evening. He'll slot right back into a bench role with the Warriors but will likely have his minutes watched closely considering his lengthy absence.

The Warriors list Evans (hip) as questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Steve Kerr mentioned over the weekend that he expected Evans to play Monday, but the official injury report suggests the second-year player's availability is more of a 50-50 proposition. If Evans is cleared to play, he'll likely be subject to some sort of minutes restriction while coming off the bench. Once he regains health, Evans should capture a regular spot in the Warriors' rotation, either as the backup to starting point guard D'Angelo Russell or as a second-unit wing.

Coach Steve Kerr said he expects Evans (hip) to return Monday against the Grizzlies, Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans was already ruled out for Friday's matchup with the Bulls, but it appears his absence will end there at 21 games. The 22-year-old has been sidelined since Oct. 28 due to the left hip strain, so he may not immediately see the same 20-minute workload he had in the first two games of the year.

Evans (hip) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Bulls, Wes Goldberg of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Evans has been sidelined since the end of October due to a hip injury, and while he appears to be nearing a return, the second-year player will remain out for at least one more game. His next chance to return comes Monday against Memphis.

Evans (hip) is officially listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Bulls, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Evans has not played since the third game of the season due to the hip injury, it seems as though he will be suiting up relatively soon. Considering the guard hasn't played since October, don't expect the 22-year-old to see a heavy dosage of minutes immediately, as the team will likely slowly ease him back into the rotation.

Evans (hip) is listed as out for Wednesday's game against the Hornets.
EDGE Analysis
The Warriors expressed hope that Evans would be able to play at some point during their five-game road trip, but if that comes to fruition, it won't happen until Friday in Chicago. Fortunately for a banged-up Golden State squad, they should get some reinforcement in the form of D'Angelo Russell (thumb), who is listed as probable after missing the team's past nine contests.

Evans (hip) is out for Sunday's game against the Magic and Monday's game against the Hawks, Anthony Slater of The Athletic reports. The hope is that he should be back before the end of the road trip.
EDGE Analysis
A strained left hip has kept Evans out since the fourth game of the season. A return is on the horizon, however. More information on his expected return date should arrive in the coming days.
