San Francisco, March 9 – (Adnkronos) – After three years out of the league for a doping suspension, Tyreke Evans is trying to return to the NBA and put his experience back in the service of playoff teams. After supporting and not making an audition with the Milwaukee Bucks, the 10-year NBA veteran will try again this week with the Golden State Warriors, according to reports by Shams Charania and Anthony Slater of The Athletic.
Evans was present at tonight’s game against the LA Clippers, sitting next to Bob Myers, who now heads the leadership of the Golden State Warriors but in the past had been Evans’ own agent, rookie of the year in 2010 with the shirt. of the Sacramento Kings. Actually it would be Evans’ second audition, who already took one last week in Miami and would have impressed enough to convince the Warriors to take him to San Francisco for a second look – maybe not immediately, but for a seat. in next year’s team.
Putting him under contract now, in fact, would mean having to cut one of the 15 players currently on the roster with a guaranteed contract and further burdening (about 3 million dollars) an already exorbitant luxury tax for the property of the Warriors, in the order of 180 million dollars. An economic effort that Evans probably would not deserve at this point in his career, given that he has been out of the NBA since 2018-19 (the year in which Golden State tried to take him with the mid-level exception, then using it for DeMarcus Cousins) and will turn 33 years next September 19th.
