Evans Making Fast Friends in Indiana
Evans making friends fast with Pacers
Tyreke Evans wore a red baseball cap to the Pacers' season-opener on Wednesday, with a curious message on the crown:
Zero
Friends
It seemed inappropriate for a player who's found instant chemistry and contentment with a blue and yellow team, so it was enough to make one wonder if there was a hidden meaning.
"Just a hat," he said. "One of my guys in Miami, he ships them out to me."
Count that as the only ill-fitting moment for Evans related to the Pacers' season-opening victory over Memphis on Wednesday. Coming off the bench, he contributed 14 points, six assists, four rebounds and just one turnover in his 23 ½ minutes.
