Jacob Evans

[Lobot]

Jacob sustained an oblique injury a couple of nights ago and is currently out but expected back soon. Can't come soon enough for the Warriors as Klay Thomason is out for the season and Steph Curry just broke his hand last night.

Golden State announced this morning they had picked up the option for the 3rd year on his rookie contract.

Yeah somebody on Reddit spotted this:

Kerr on Jacob Evans: "We look at him as a pg now... I know that Andre and Shaun both really like him. They like the fact that he can make plays, see the game, big and strong. I think we're going to give Jacob every opportunity to handle the ball next year." (@TheAthleticSF)

He will be backing up Steph Curry at PG:

Jacob has been activated and played last night - 3-3 2-point shooting (no 3s), 3 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 turnover in nearly 17 minutes of play.

Myers and Kerr taking some heat for drafting him.

As expected he's back w/ the G-League. Looks like he started the last game. Hopefully he'll get some minutes.

For what it's worth... I follow the Trailblazers. They just sent their 1st & 2nd round picks to the G-League this past week. Like Evans, neither guy was producing or getting minutes.

And he's back up. Apparently he's facing another potential move this Friday as DeMarcus Cousins is reactivated.

Sent back to the G League

And it looks like he was just called back up.

Also, here's a quick interview where he talks about his struggles.
