Inks four-year deal
Evans agreed to a four-year, $9.3 million deal with Minnesota on Sunday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.
Analisi
Evans, the No. 33 overall pick in the 2026 NBA draft, is coming off his best collegiate season. In 38 appearances with the Blue Devils in 2025-26, which includes four NCAA Tournament games, the 20-year-old averaged 15.0 points, 3.2 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.7 blocks and 0.7 steals across 28.2 minutes. Evans was projected to be selected earlier in the draft, potentially somewhere in the first round. However, he is now in Minnesota, where he will have a chance to earn meaningful minutes right away.

Struggles in Summer League debut
Evans finished with four points (2-15 FG, 0-9 3Pt), five rebounds, one assist and one block across 26 minutes in Saturday's 101-82 Summer League loss to the Nuggets.
Analisi
Evans made his Summer League debut Saturday after the draft-night trade sending him to Minnesota was finalized. Although he finished second on the team in field-goal attempts, the 33rd overall pick in this year's draft struggled mightily with efficiency and scored just four points. He'll look to bounce back in Monday's game against Portland.
