NORMAL — Illinois State guard Keyshawn Evans underwent surgery Wednesday to repair a right shoulder labrum tear with an estimated recovery time of four to six months.
The 6-foot Evans, who will be a junior next season, was a key part of ISU's rotation this past season as the Redbirds won a school-record 28 games and shared the Missouri Valley Conference regular-season title for the first time since 1998.
Evans played in all 35 games, starting four. He averaged 5.8 points, 2.0 assists and 1.5 rebounds in 19 minutes per game while shooting 38.1 percent from 3-point range.
