Evbuomwan notched 11 points (4-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and four rebounds over 30 minutes in Wednesday's 122-103 loss to Indiana.

EDGE Analysis

Evbuomwan got his first start of the 2023-24 NBA season Wednesday in place of Isaiah Stewart, who was inactive with a hamstring injury. Evbuomwan ended as one of four Pistons with a double-digit point mark while adding a quartet of rebounds over a season-high minute total. Evbuomwan matched his season high in scoring, a mark he also tallied Monday against Boston.

Evbuomwan will move into the starting unit for Wednesday's matchup with the Pacers, Keith Langlois of the Pistons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evbuomwan is replacing Isaiah Stewart (hamstring) in the starting lineup Wednesday evening, and with Stewart done for the season, Evbuomwan could be starting the rest of the way. He put up 11 points, two triples, two boards, one steal and a turnover in 18 minutes off the bench in his previous outing, so he's someone to consider as a speculative add in deep leagues.

Evbuomwan had 11 points (4-5 FG, 2-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 18 minutes during Monday's 119-94 loss to Boston.

EDGE Analysis

Evbuomwan capitalized on his shot attempts Monday, marking a continuation of the solid 36.6 percent three-point clip he has posted across 34 G League appearances this season. That being said, Ausar Thompson (illness), Simone Fontecchio (toe), Quentin Grimes (knee) and Cade Cunningham (knee) were all inactive Monday, so Evbuomwan's workload can be perceived as underwhelming in the context of so much vacated usage.

Evbuomwan signed a two-way contract with the Pistons on Thursday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evbuomwan signed a 10-day contract with Detroit shortly before the All-Star break, and he'll remain with the team on a deal that allows him to easily move between the G League and parent club. He tallied five points, two rebounds and a steal in eight minutes during his team debut against the Suns on Feb. 14.

Evbuomwan agreed Sunday with the Pistons on a 10-day deal, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evbuomwan's 10-day contract with the Grizzlies came to an end Friday, but he didn't take long to catch on with another NBA club on a new deal. The Pistons are already intimately familiar with Evbuomwan, an undrafted rookie out of Princeton who attended training camp with the club and who had been playing for their G League affiliate, the Motor City Cruise, prior to his stint with the Grizzlies. As he begins his tenure with the Pistons, Evbuomwan will likely find himself outside of the rotation after he struggled to distinguish himself during his time with Memphis. Over his four appearances for the Grizzlies, Evbuomwan shot 26.7 percent from the field while averaging 2.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.5 minutes.

Evbuomwan became a free agent Friday after his 10-day hardship contract with the Grizzlies expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Unless the NBA grants the Grizzlies another hardship exception as the team battles myriad injury issues, Evbuomwan will likely rejoin the G League's Motor City Cruise, with whom he was playing before Memphis signed him to a 10-day deal Jan. 30. The undrafted rookie forward out of Princeton appeared in four games over the course of his 10-day pact, averaging 2.5 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 18.5 minutes while shooting just 26.7 percent from the field.

Evbuomwan had three points (1-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt), 12 rebounds and three assists in 29 minutes during Sunday's 131-91 loss to the Celtics.

EDGE Analysis

Evbuomwan, who's operating under a 10-day deal, appeared in a second straight game for the injury-depleted Grizzlies and saw an expanded role during the blowout loss. The 6-foot-7 forward has made just one shot in each of his first two NBA appearances, and surprisingly, they were both three-pointers. Despite sinking a pair of threes, Evbuomwan has struggled offensively thus far, but he made his presence felt on the boards, grabbing a game-high 12 rebounds versus Boston. If Jaren Jackson (hip), Santi Aldama (lower body) and/or Xavier Tillman (knee) return to full strength soon, Evbuomwan will likely be pushed out of the rotation.

The Grizzlies signed Evbuomwan to a 10-day contract Tuesday, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Grizzlies have been shorthanded all season, but their injury report has hit new lengths recently. Given the injuries, Memphis has opted to sign a trio of forwards to 10-day deals. Matthew Hurt made his NBA debut Monday versus the Kings, posting 10 points (3-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes, while Evbuomwan and Trey Jemison inked deals Tuesday. Evbuomwan and Jemison's first chance to play for Memphis will come Thursday versus Cleveland. Evbuomwan has yet to appear in a regular-season NBA game, but he's been a standout for the G League's Motor City Cruise, averaging 15 points, 8.6 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game.

Evbuomwan was waived by Detroit on Saturday, Mike Curtis of The Detroit News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Evbuomwan was brought in on an Exhibit 10 contract back in June, and while he didn't end up cracking the NBA roster, Detroit now owns his G League rights. He'll likely report to the Motor City Cruise, assuming he passes through waivers.
