UCLA hosts Oregon after Evans' 23-point game

Oregon visits the UCLA Bruins after Kwame Evans Jr. scored 23 points in the Ducks' 82-77 loss to the USC Trojans

18 HOURS AGO • Associated Press

Leading scorer for Ducks Evans registered 23 points (6-12 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 9-11 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, one block and two steals in 36 minutes during Tuesday's 82-77 loss to USC.

Impact Evans' 23 points were a season-high as he continues to take his game to another level in 2025-26. His effort was for naught, as Oregon fell to USC in the Ducks' first Big Ten game, but Oregon has to like what it's getting out of its junior forward. He's more than doubled his scoring average from last season and has been more efficient in every shooting category. Meanwhile, he's been a force on the glass, pulling down 7.1 rebounds per game.

Struggles from the field in win Evans notched five points (1-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), six rebounds and one assist in 23 minutes during Wednesday's 83-69 victory over South Dakota State.

Impact Evans had a tough time scoring the ball with five points on five shots, but he had his best day of the season on the glass with six boards. The 6-foot-10 forward will need to get a little more assertive as a rebounder, especially when Big Ten play rolls around, but for now, he's largely been a positive as Oregon has cruised to a 3-0 start.

Exits with knee injury Evans exited Tuesday's game against Hawaii due to an apparent left knee injury, according to James Crepea of The Oregonian.

Impact The fact that Evans had to leave the game with assistance since he couldn't put any weight on his left knee is certainly concerning. If Evans doesn't return, expect Sean Stewart and Oleksandr Kobzystyi to see more time in the frontcourt.

Expected to play Saturday Head coach Dana Altman indicated that Evans (knee) should be available for Saturday's game against Stanford, per Matt Prehm of 247Sports.com.

Impact Evans suffered a knee injury during Sunday's win over Stephen F. Austin and was subsequently held out of practice on Tuesday, but Altman made it clear that Evans is doing fine and should be able to play against the Cardinal. The sophomore forward has been impactful in his time on the floor for the Ducks this season, averaging 5.5 points and 4.5 rebounds in 14.7 minutes per game through 11 contests. Evans can still be looked at as a game-time decision until more concrete updates are provided, but it appears he is certainly trending in the right direction.
