Former Cincinnati Bearcats standout Jacob Evans III will honor former LSU basketball player Wayde Sims by wearing No. 44 with Evans' new NBA G League team, the Erie BayHawks, according to a tweet from Andrew Lopez:
Evans was acquired earlier this week along with forward Omari Spellman by the BayHawks, an affiliate of the NBA's New Orleans Pelicans. The NBA G League is set to tip off Feb. 10 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Florida.
Evans grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where Sims was killed in 2018 after playing two seasons with the Tigers.
