Former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans to work out for Warriors

Free agent wing Tyreke Evans is set to work out with the Warriors this week, per Shams Charania of The Athletic. Anthony Slater of The Athletic adds that Golden State first worked out Evans in Miami last week, where he has been training with free agent forward Michael Beasley and shelved Rockets point guard John Wall. Slater concludes that Evans’s performance must have merited a second look.

Last week, Evans also worked out for the Bucks, who are fairly thin on the wing due to injuries and a deadline trade.

Evans, the 2010 Rookie of the Year, boasts a decade of league experience from 2009-19. Last month, Evans was reinstated into the NBA after being suspended by the league since 2019 for violating its drug policy. The 32-year-old guard has not played elsewhere since his ban.

Over the course of his NBA career, Evans has suited up for the Kings, Pelicans, Grizzlies and most recently the Pacers. In 594 games, the 6’6″ vet out of Memphis holds averages of 15.7 PPG, 4.8 APG, 4.6 RPG and 1.2 SPG on .440/.323/.757 shooting splits. During his lone season with the Pacers, he saw his role reduced. In just 20.3 MPG, Evans averaged 10.2 PPG on 38.9% shooting from the field.
