Olympiacos Piraeus has pushed ahead with its plan to sign Keenan Evans, despite him having to undergo surgery for a knee injury in late May.
Evans (1.91 meters, 27 years old) has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at Peace and Friendship Stadium.
After going under the knife, it was announced that Evans would be out for between six and eight months. His injury came during Game 3 of Zalgiris Kaunas’s Lithuanian League semifinal series against 7bet-Lietkabelis Panevezys.
The American guard Evans had his best season to date in the EuroLeague in 2023-24, averaging 17.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, 3.9 assists, 1.2 steals and an 18.3 PIR in 34 games, all of which were as a starter.
He also had a very impressive debut campaign with Zalgiris in 2022-23, posting 15.9 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists, 1.0 steal and a 17.4 PIR across 17 games before an Achilles injury brought his season to a premature end.
Evans's EuroLeague career got underway in 2021-22 as he suited up for Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, making 33 appearances and averaging 8.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.5 assists, 1.2 steals and a 10.2 PIR.
