Golden State Warriors forward Omari Spellman and guard Jacob Evans have been traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves. The deal also involves D'Angelo Russell heading to Minnesota in exchange for Andrew Wiggins. Spellman had some decent fantasy value until Marquese Chriss ran away with the starting center job. He'll battle with Juan Hernangomez and Jarred Vanderbilt for forward minutes, so it's best for fantasy owners to wait and see. Evans is likely going to be lost in the shuffle, so he's better left off on the waiver wire.
Draymond Green, Jacob Evans To Both Miss Saturday’s Contest
The Golden State Warriors will be without both point guard/power forward Draymond Green and point guard/small forward Jacob Evans when they take the floor Saturday against the Orlando Magic. Green is dealing with a finger sprain on his left hand, while Evans is out due to concussion-like symptoms. Without either man available, D'Angelo Russell should be tagged with ample ball-handling duties, as the healthy Warriors should slot into the rotation behind Green and Evans. Their next chance at returning to action comes Monday against Portland.
Golden State Warriors guard Jacob Evans (head) is out indefinitely as he enters the NBA's concussion protocol. He's been diagnosed with a concussion and broken nose. He'll likely wear a protective mask until his nose is fully healed. D'Angelo Russell, Alec Burks, and Jordan Poole will all see increased playing time without Evans available.
Golden State Warriors point/shooting guard Jacob Evans has been cleared to suit up for Mondays game against the Memphis Grizzlies, which would mark his first appearance since Oct. 28. Evans has missed each of Golden States past 21 contests due to a left adductor strain, but now figures to be featured in the Warriors offensive gameplan going forward. He dropped 14 points across 22 minutes on opening night, and while it may take a few games for him to reclaim a fantasy relevant workload, he should become a solid source of points and threes for owners once his time on the court ticks up.
Golden State Warriors shooting guard Jacob Evans will remain sidelined Friday versus the Chicago Bulls due to a left adductor strain that has kept him out since Oct. 28. His status was upped to questionable earlier Thursday, but the Warriors will remain cautious with the second-year guard, with his next chance to return coming Monday against Memphis. Where Evans will slot into the rotation remains to be seen, but with injuries ravaging Golden States roster, he will undoubtedly see some minutes and shot attempts as soon as he is given the green light to suit up.
Golden State Warriors guard Jacob Evans (groin) is listed as questionable for Friday's game against the Chicago Bulls. Head coach Steve Kerr said it's possible that Evans will be out there on Friday. However, it's his first game in over a month, so Evans should be limited if he does suit up. He'll likely see minutes in the 20s once he's back to full speed. He could be worth an add in deep leagues, but standard league owners might want to wait and see.
Golden State Warriors point/shooting Jacob Evans led the way during his squads loss to the Sacramento Kings in Mondays Summer League opener, going for 18 points on 6-for-11 shooting, including a pair of made triples. Evans also tied for the team lead with three assists, adding five rebounds and two steals to his stat line. After seeing sparing minutes as a rookie (6.8 per game) in 2018-19, Evans is looking to see his role increased with the dynamic of the team in flux heading into the upcoming season.
Jacob Evans Suffers Rib Contusion In Summer League
Golden State Warriors rookie guard/forward Jacob Evans suffered a rib contusion and played just six minutes in Thursday's Summer League game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Evans didn't play in Golden State's first Summer League outing, but he scored 13 points on 5-for-12 shooting in Tuesday's win over Sacramento. This injury casts doubt on his availability for the Las Vegas portion of the summer league. If he sits for that, prospective fantasy owners won't have much tape on him come draft season, though his value is relatively low on a stacked Warriors team. He'll likely be more valuable as a DFS option on nights that Golden State rests key pieces than he will be in season-long redraft leagues.
