Nate Bittle, Takai Simpkins Combine for 32 Points in Oregon's Win vs. Maryland

Available at Maryland Evans (ankle) is available for Friday's game at Maryland, Edward Lee of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Impact Evans will be good to go after missing the Ducks' most recent win over Omaha. The junior forward return to the court should be welcoming for Oregon, especially since 13.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists on 27.8 minutes per game this season.

Deemed questionable Friday Evans (ankle) is listed as questionable for Oregon's clash with Maryland on Friday night.

Impact Evans missed the Ducks' final out-of-conference game against Omaha, and is in danger of making it two straight absences. It's looking like a true game-time call for the starting forward who averages 13.6 points, 7.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists on Friday night.

Impact Head Dana Altman is hopeful to have Evans, who sat out Sunday against Omaha due to undisclosed reasons, back for Friday's game against Maryland. The 6-foot-10 junior is averaging 13.6 points, 7.6 rebounds, 2.6 assists, one block and one steal across 11 games, making his impact felt on both ends of the floor.

In line to return Saturday Evans (illness) is participating in warmups and looks set to return Saturday versus UC-Davis, Matt Prehm of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Evans was deemed a game-time call for Saturday's contest, but his participation in warmups would seemingly suggest he's set to return following a one-game absence due to illness. Evans is coming off his best scoring contest of the season with 23 points and nine boards against USC on Dec. 2 and will aim to keep his strong start to 2025-26 going against what should be an overmatched opponent.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Game-time decision Saturday Evans (illness) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against UC Davis, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact Evans will have had about a week to recover from the illness that took him out of Oregon's second conference game this season, as the Ducks got demolished at UCLA. UC Davis will provide a nice tune-up before two West Coast Conference teams, Portland and Gonzaga, play UO in mid-December. Davis, averaging 12.6 points and 7.1 rebounds this season, healthy should improve Oregon's chances of regrouping. If not, it looks like the Ducks would run with their two bigs being Sean Stewart and Nate Bittle.

DECEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out with illness Evans (illness) isn't playing in Saturday's game versus UCLA, per James Crepea of The Oregonian.

Impact Evans is reportedly one of several Oregon players that is currently battling an illness. Sean Stewart should get the start at power forward in his absence, and Evans will look to make his return during the team's Dec. 13 game versus UC Davis.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not in starting unit Evans (undisclosed) isn't among the starting five ahead of Saturday's game versus UCLA, per the StatBroadcast Systems live stats feed.

Impact Evans has been a key piece for the Ducks early in the season and is coming off a career-best 23 points last time out against USC. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear he's in the starting unit for Saturday's contest, suggesting he may be in line to sit out the contest.

DECEMBER 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable vs. UCLA Evans is listed questionable ahead of Saturday's game against the Bruins.

Impact Evans pooped up on the injury report with an undisclosed injury and is questionable heading into the matchup. The junior forward has started every game for the Ducks and will be a big blow to Oregon should he miss the game. More news should surface closer to game time.

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.

Nate Bittle had 24 points, Jackson Shelstad scored 22 and Kwame Evans Jr. posted a double-double to lead Oregon to an 87-75 victory over Oregon State

NOVEMBER 18, 2025 • Associated Press

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.

NOVEMBER 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Available vs. Rice Evans (knee) is available for Friday's game against Rice, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact For the Hawaii-Oregon game, UO's starting frontcourt included Evans. During both teams' matchup, he logged four steals-plus blocks. Evans also recorded seven points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 0-2 FT) and three rebounds before his knee-related injury.

NOVEMBER 7, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

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.

NOVEMBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Posts double-double in win Evans contributed 11 points (3-4 FG, 1-1 3Pt, 4-6 FT), 11 rebounds, one assist and two blocks over 28 minutes during Sunday's 80-73 OT win over Washington.

Impact Evans notched his first career double-double as the Ducks took down the Huskies during Sunday's regular season finale. The 6-foot-9 sophomore has appeared in all 31 games this season (three starts), averaging 6.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 0.7 assists and 0.6 blocks on 15.9 minutes per game. Evans and the Ducks will square off against IU to open the Big Ten tournament this Thursday.
