NBA.com says restricted free agent Tyreke Evans could be the "steal of the summer."
It's unusual that a player's best season is his rookie year, but that's exactly what happened to Evans. His value has been deflated by knee/foot issues, a non-improving jumper and a declining role on the Kings. Still, Evans is just 23 years old and has a unique skill set for a guy that goes 6'6/220. We could see someone putting the Kings to the test with an offer sheet. May 10 - 2:35 PM

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans (knee, quad) said that he landed on a wet spot and that he's "a little sore," but he's already been ruled out of Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Evans said he'd "ice it and maybe take some pain pills," but no matter what the injury is, his season is over with one game left. Without Evans available, Marcus Thornton should get a green light to do a lot of heavy lifting on offense on Wednesday, so for owners still playing, Thornton is a strong add. Evans will enter the offseason as a restricted free agent.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans suffered a "quad strain" in the first quarter of Monday's game and did not return.

He needed assistance to the locker room from two of his teammates and couldn't put weight on his left knee. Tyreke had left knee problem back in February and it stands to reason any problem will knock him out of the team's finale, even if there is a chance his knee isn't the issue. Marcus Thornton replaced Tyreke and is a strong speculative add.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans played under 18 minutes during Sunday's rout in Houston, finishing with 10 points, three rebounds and one assist.

Keith Smart's haphazard rotations were exacerbated by the lopsided score tonight, but this marks four consecutive games in which Tyreke has scored 10 or fewer points in under 25 minutes. The Kings, who have the league's worst attendance at home games, have lost six of their past seven contests.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans shot 1-of-7 from the field for five points vs. Memphis, adding five rebounds, two turnovers and nothing else in 25 minutes of action.

Tyreke admitted this weekend that Keith Smart's rotations are "a little frustrating," and he was openly perplexed when an ultra-small lineup left him matched up with Zach Randolph on both ends (Z-Bo yelled at Tyreke, "I'm gonna let him shoot! Shoot it!"). Tonight was an exaggerated example of Smart's topsy-turvy lineups, and it came against an elite defense, so there should be no carry-over for Wednesday's game vs. the Hornets.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans scored 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting (including two threes) with nine rebounds and six assists in the Kings' 117-108 loss to the Mavs on Friday.

Evans will disappear from time to time but he has been mostly solid for owners lately. Isaiah Thomas added 29 points but only had one assist in the loss.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans had 21 points, nine rebounds and six assists on Saturday, sinking 9-of-15 FGs and 3-of-3 FTs in a heartbreaking loss to the visiting Lakers.

Sleep Train Arena was buzzing with a sell-out crowd all night, and Tyreke and the Kings fought hard, but they were done in by some questionable decisions down the stretch. Foremost among them were a late one-on-three drive by Tyreke which led to a turnover, the Kings final three shots all being 3-pointers from DeMarcus Cousins, and (if you sense a lack of offensive leadership) Keith Smart's decision to bench Isaiah Thomas for all but the final 24 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans shot 5-of-9 from the field for 10 points with three boards, six assists one steal and no turnovers in 32 minutes.

He's been playing a lot better and is getting to the hoop with ease lately. He entered the game with March averages of 15.1 points, 4.7 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.2 triples. He'll look to put a bow on a solid month against the Lakers on Saturday.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans returned to action on Wednesday despite a mysterious stomach ailment, that is not being called an illness.

He hit 4-of-12 shots for 12 points, five dimes and a steal in 34 minutes, and owners have to hope this is the last we hear of the stomach issue. The fact he played so much tonight leads us to believe he'll be good to go for his next game on Thursday at Phoenix.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans (stomach) will play against the Warriors on Wednesday.

He has a stomach bug and was considered questionable to play, but he looks like he'll at least try. Evans was a little late for pre-game warmups, so he is likely not at 100 percent. He's a good enough player to keep in your lineup.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tests on Tyreke Evans' stomach came back normal and he is questionable to play Wednesday against the Warriors.

Evans was throwing up at halftime of Sunday's game against the Sixers and the team first suspected he was dealing with a flu bug, although that's obviously not the case now. Evans will warm up and see how he feels pregame before the Kings determine his status. If Evans can't play against the Warriors, Marcus Thornton would see a major boost in his minutes.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans' stomach issues are not flu-related, and he is officially questionable to play on Wednesday against the Warriors.

We suspected that the need for tests meant that it was more than just the flu bug, and the tests "are not believed to be flu-related." Evans is expected to be reevaluated on Wednesday morning, so we shouldn't have to wait much longer to know more about his status. If he's out on Wednesday, Marcus Thornton would be in line for major minutes at shooting guard.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans (stomach) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

During Sunday's loss to the Sixers, Evans was throwing up at halftime and suspected he had the flu. The need for "tests" two days later suggests that he's still feeling ill and it might not be the simple flu. If Evans sits on Wednesday, Marcus Thornton will quickly turn into an elite fantasy play.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans (flu) said that he would see a doctor after Sunday's loss to the Sixers.

Evans was throwing up at halftime, but he didn't seem too concerned that it was anything more than the flu. With the Kings not playing until Wednesday, he should have ample time to recover.

Tyreke Evans - G/F - Kings

Tyreke Evans had 19 points, eight assists, two steals and one block in Sunday's loss to the 76ers, but he was sick all night and didn't play in the final eight minutes of the game.

Evans "spent part of halftime vomiting," and at least his illness explains his four-point dud on Saturday. The Kings don't play again until Wednesday vs. the Warriors, which should give him enough time to recuperate.
