Jeremy Evans back in Paris Basketball until the end of the season !

Arrived as a medical freelancer for Aamir Simms and then left at the end of his freelance period in mid-November, Jeremy Evans is back in Paris Basketball. The former NBAer has committed himself until the end of the current year.

His arrival in mid-October as a medical freelancer had revived Paris Basketball after a chaotic start to the season. The interior Jeremy Evans (2.06 m, 34 years old) is back in the capital until the end of the season, where he should bring a real complement to Ismael Kamagate, the only professional post 5 in the rack.

The former winner of the NBA dunks contest played five games for Paris, between Eurocup and Betclic Elite. He averaged 13.7 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists for four wins in five games.

Trained at Western Kentucky, with a 2.29m wingspan, the Arkansas native played 250 games in the NBA (6.1 points and 4.7 rebounds in 2013-14) supplementing with G-League before coming to Europe, to Khimki Moscow, Darussafaka, and last season to Panathinaikos where he averaged 7.5 points and 4.4 rebounds.

He will be back with Paris Basketball in the championship game at the Astroballe against ASVEL on December 11, the night of the jersey retirement ceremony of a certain Amara Sy.
