Tyrone Corbin praised the recent play of Jeremy Evans.
"His confidence level is getting better," Corbin said. "I thought Jeremy gave us some great minutes the other night. Again, it shows a guy working and staying ready and maximizing his opportunity." Despite the lip service, Evans will continue to see inconsistent playing time and can be ignored in fantasy leagues. Mar 15 - 8:19 AM

Jeremy Evans scored eight points on 3-of-4 shooting with seven rebounds, a career-high five assists and two blocks in 24 minutes off the bench on Monday against the Pistons.

Evans was the beneficiary of a bad Pistons team having their rotation jumbled by the Brandon Knight injury, and the Jazz second unit getting some extra run as a whole. If he does it again, we'll let you know but otherwise consider this a fluke.
Mar 12 - 12:13 AM

Jeremy Evans scored 14 points on 6-of-8 shooting with nine rebounds, one assist and two blocks in 26 minutes off the bench on Friday against the Bobcats.

Evans got extra run in a 30-point blowout with two starters out. There's nothing to see here beyond that. Alec Burks' 10 points on 3-of-9 shooting, seven rebounds, two assists, two steals, one block, and one trey in 29 minutes also fall into this category.
Mar 2 - 3:45 AM

Jeremy Evans, Gerald Green, Kenneth Faried, Eric Bledsoe, Terrence Ross and James White will take part in the Sprite Slam Dunk Contest on February 16.

It's an interesting group of participants with some exciting young players taking part in the action. The contest also has defending champ in Jeremy Evans as well as former champ Gerald Green, who had one of the most memorable dunks in the contest's history when he blew out a cupcake candle. The 3-Point Contest will feature Paul George, Kyrie Irving, Steve Novak, Ryan Anderson, Matt Bonner and Steph Curry.

Jazz sign PF Jeremy Evans.

The Jazz officially signed Jeremy Evans to a three-year deal on Wednesday. He'll back up the power forward position in Utah, but shouldn't have much fantasy value as long as Paul Millsap and Derrick Favors stays healthy.

Free agent F Jeremy Evans agreed to a three-year, $5.5 million deal with the Jazz on Thursday.

Evans attacks the rim and has turned some heads since entering the league, but he'll need the Jazz's roster to thin out a bit to enter the season on most fantasy cheat sheets.

The Jazz offered restricted free agent F Jeremy Evans a qualifying offer on Friday.

Evans and second-year guard Alec Burks are both athletically gifted, and both will be guys to watch heading into this season. They'll still need a good amount of help before they matter in most fantasy leagues, though.

Restricted free agent Jeremy Evans would like to re-sign with the Jazz.

"I'd love to be back with the Jazz," he said. "Hopefully, I'm around for the future." Evans did also acknowledge that playing time would be a consideration in his decision, and he's looking to "get that role of being in the game, earning minutes and being able to play." Evans appeared in just 29 regular season games with Utah, averaging under eight minutes of playing time.

Jeremy Evans scored a season-high 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting with a career-high 10 rebounds, three steals, and three blocks in 28 minutes.

Evans saw extra run with the starters getting rested and probably won't be in the playoff rotation. Like rookie Alec Burks, he can fly, but he has a ways to go before he accumulates real fantasy value. Enes Kanter double-doubled with 12 points, 10 boards, a steal, and two blocks, and Jamaal Tinsley played 21 minutes on his way to four points, three boards, and seven assists.

Jeremy Evans finally played on his sprained ankle Wednesday and had five points, six rebounds, a steal and a block in 12 minutes.

That's solid production in limited run, but unless he suddenly starts getting 25 minutes per game, he has no fantasy value.

Jeremy Evans (ankle) will be available for Monday's game against the Mavs.

Evans is only going to "put his uniform on" according to Ty Corbin, so needless to say there's nothing to see here, folks.
Mon, Apr 16, 2012 07:52:00 PM

Jeremy Evans (ankle) is a game-time call for Monday's matchup with the Mavs.

Evans has missed three straight games and appeared in just 27 all season. Right now, the 2010 second-round pick is just a dunker.
Mon, Apr 16, 2012 12:44:00 PM

Jeremy Evans reported improvement in his sprained right ankle.

Evans went through an extended warm-up session before Saturday's game, but he was ruled out just before tipoff. Utah goes against Dallas on Monday, and barring a setback, Evans should be available for that one.

Updating an earlier item, Jeremy Evans will not play through his sprained ankle on Saturday.

He did everything he could to get back in action, but is still not ready to play. Paul Millsap, on the other hand, will play again despite his wrist injury.
Sat, Apr 14, 2012 07:07:00 PM

Jeremy Evans (ankle) did not play on Friday against the Hornets.

Evans' ankle still isn't well enough for him to play. His playing time has been sporadic all season and is only averaging 6.5 minutes per game. This news shouldn't impact your fantasy lineup.
