SAN FRANCISCO — Warriors guard Jacob Evans, who has missed 21 games with an adductor strain in his left hip, is available for Monday night’s game against the Grizzlies.
His return gives the Warriors will have 12 available players for the first time since the opening week of the season. Evans accompanied the team during it’s recent five-city trip and participated in practices and shoot-arounds, showing enough progress to be made available for the first time since getting injured on Oct. 28 against the Pelicans.
Evans will provide depth on the perimeter, and could, eventually, lead to rookie guard Jordan Poole being assigned to the team’s G League affiliate in Santa Cruz.
