The sophomore forward has been impactful in his time on the floor for the Ducks this season, averaging 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game through 11 contests. Evans can still be looked at as a game-time decision until more concrete updates are provided, but it appears he is certainly trending in the right direction.

Underwhelms in start Evans registered six points (2-6 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 2-2 FT), eight rebounds, four assists and three steals over 20 minutes during Friday's 92-67 victory over Tennessee State.

Impact Evans has received back-to-back opportunities to start in place of N'Faly Dante (hamstring), but he has delivered just 10 points on 25.0 percent shooting over that span. Racking up 18 rebounds is a silver lining, but Evans has yet to display an ability to step into a larger role. Nate Bittle (wrist) exiting Friday's contest early due to injury could test that notion even further moving forward.
