Warriors assign Jacob Evans to G League
The Warriors have assigned rookie guard Jacob Evans to their G League affiliate in Santa Cruz.
Evans, 21, is averaging 0.6 points, 0.6 rebounds and 1.0 assist per game with Golden State this season. Though a capable defender, his shot has made it tough for him to crack the rotation; he’s shooting 22.2 percent from the field.
With the Santa Cruz Warriors, Evans will get much-needed playing time. Santa Cruz’s home opener is Wednesday night against the Stockton Kings.
