Reginald Jamaal Evans (born May 18, 1980) is an American former professional basketball player who last played in the Big3 League.
A 2005 statistical analysis published on ESPN determined that on average, Evans will rebound one quarter of all shots missed while he is in a game.
In the 2006 season this dipped to 21.5 percent, however, this was still good enough to edge out teammate Marcus Camby for the best rebound rate in the NBA.
Evans made the news on December 6, 2005, when he was absent for the opening minutes of the second half in a loss to the New York Knicks.
During a 2006 game, Evans yanked Los Angeles Clippers center Chris Kaman by the testicles in an attempt to gain a position advantage.
[5] On September 10, 2007, he was traded along with the draft rights to Ricky Sanchez to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Steven Hunter and Bobby Jones.
[15] On March 27 in a game against the Portland Trail Blazers, Evans notched career highs in both points (22) and rebounds (26) as the Nets won 111–93.
2 days later in a game against the Denver Nuggets, Evans had another great night with 15 points and 16 rebounds but the Nets lost 109–87.
The seldom-used Evans sparked Sacramento back into the game during the third quarter, getting Marc Gasol in foul trouble and slicing Memphis' lead to 74–65 heading to the fourth.
[18] Evans' final NBA game was played on April 10, 2015, in a 103 - 116 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder where he recorded 1 rebound and 1 steal.
In 2017, Evans joined the BIG3 basketball league's Killer 3's team, playing alongside Charles Oakley (who also was the head coach), Chauncey Billups, and Stephen Jackson.
In 2018, Evans joined the BIG3 basketball league's 3 Headed Monsters, playing alongside Rashard Lewis, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, and being coached by Gary Payton.
