The Dallas Mavericks announced Thursday that forward Jeremy Evans underwent shoulder surgery and will miss the remainder of the season. The surgery was to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
Since joining the Mavs as a free agent in the summer of 2015, Evans has struggled to find playing time. The former dunk contest champion has appeared in just 30 games, starting two, for a total of 251 minutes. He's averaging 2.4 points and 1.8 rebounds per game.
Early indications that he may be used as a small ball center never panned out and Evans spent time this season in Frisco playing for the Mavericks' D-League affiliate the Texas Legends.
