CHICAGO — Warriors guard Jacob Evans will sit out Friday night’s game against the Bulls at United Center.
Evans, who has missed the last 20 games with a hip injury, was expected to return to the lineup at some point during the Warriors’ five-game trip that wraps up in Chicago on Friday. Now it seems he will come back after the Warriors return home Saturday. With center Kevon Looney having returned Monday against the Hawks and guard D’Angelo Russell back Wednesday against the Hornets, the Warriors have 11 available players.
Adding Evans would give the most injury-ravaged team in the league 12 players for the first time since opening night of the regular season.
