After being punished last May, Evans is eligible to apply for NBA reinstatement in two years. However, his ban doesn’t affect his status as a player in Europe. The rookie of the year in the 2009-10 season has been offered during the last month around Europe, and teams like Baskonia and Olympiacos are in search of a backcourt player.

Tyreke Evans leaves the door open that he’d consider coming back to play for the Indiana Pacers, but he’d have to be the player he was allowed to be in the last two games of their series sweep with the Boston Celtics. “I’m looking for a good team,” he said. Also a team that’ll let him play through his mistakes and be himself.

It was a wise choice to bypass them for the Pacers as both missed the postseason, but 2018-19 still fell short of his expectations going into the summer as an unrestricted free agent. “The playing situation was just a little different,” said Evans, who was suspended for chronic tardiness for the sixth game in his first season with the Pacers. “Not how I expected it to be. I feel like I was forcing a lot when I came in.”

1. What we’ve seen with Tyreke Evans this season has been beyond disappointing. I think it is safe to say the likelihood of him returning in July is slim to none. Do you think his failures could deter other free agents from wanting to come to a place like Indiana? Scott Agness: 1. Nope. Don’t expect Tyreke back. That was a bad fit from the beginning. Both parties are trying to make it work and get through the season. I don’t think his case will impact future FAs at all.

Sam Amick on Tyreke Evans: “With the Warriors, there are couple layers to this that got my attention. Not only is [Warriors GM] Bob Myers his former agent from the Wasserman days, but LaMont Peterson was his trainer for the longest time and came up with him in Pennsylvania and now he’s a scout for the Warriors. Tyreke has a lot of ties to the Warriors and he has fans in the locker room.”

Memphis also has its nearly $9 million mid-level exception, which it intends to use to keep free-agent Tyreke Evans.

Memphis keeping him indicates they plan to try to keep him this summer. He was brought in by coach Dave Fizdale, but he was fired early in the season after a clash with Marc Gasol. While Evans has continued to score well, it’s not clear where his future may lay. “Summertime, I just have to weigh my options. I’ve been through free agency before, so I know what to expect now,” Evans said. “Definitely want to talk to my family and my brothers, my agent. Hopefully, we’ll make the right choice.”

At the end of the day, he was grateful that Fiz and the Grizzlies organization put him in position to resurrect his career. “I thank Memphis for the chance they gave me to bring my game back here. Whatever would have happened, happened. One of the reasons I came here, when I talked to Fizdale, was he said he was going to let me play my game. “Other than that, just glad to be here with my teammates again.”

Evans said he plans to discuss his upcoming free agency with his agent and family this summer. For now, he’s grateful the Grizzlies gave him an opportunity to showcase his talent. “I thank Memphis for the chance they gave me,” Evans said. “They gave me a chance to bring my game back here, so I mean, like I said, whatever would have happened, would have happened. For me being here, they did a lot for me, and I thank the organization for that.”

Jared Weiss: Tyreke Evans said his friends were more shocked than he was when he wasn’t traded at the deadline. This summer he’s planning to talk to his friends and family and agent to figure out his future.

3 years ago – via Memphis Commercial Appeal

The Grizzlies ultimately chose not to trade Tyreke Evans last week because they valued the advantage keeping him now would give them in trying to sign him again this summer more than they valued the meager return Evans was fetching on the trade market. This clear intent to try to bring Evans back means that the Grizzlies think Evans would return to Memphis for the mid-level exception (north of $8.5 million), the maximum the team can offer. That would mean Evans not only choosing Memphis over other comparable offers, but, presumably, not getting offers this summer for more (or at least not substantially more).

Even if the Grizzlies don’t go for the blockbuster involving center Marc Gasol — and they will pursue Gasol deals right through the February deadline — expect them to be busy as they continue to reconfigure the roster. They’ve gotten a big boost from the play of guard Tyreke Evans, who seems to have rediscovered his game in Memphis, and they have already received significant interest. He’d be an ideal bench scorer.
