“I am really excited about the opportunity to join Cheshire Phoenix and be playing back in the UK,” said Evans, via release. “I saw the incredible support that the fans gave the team from a far last season but especially when they won the Trophy final in Glasgow.

“I look forward to experiencing that for myself and help build on the team’s success. I can’t wait to meet everyone at the club and get to work.”

Evans has spent the past couple of years overseas after turning pro in 2020 having split four years at college in America with Maine and Saint Anselm.

The 25-year-old guard averaged 11.7 points per game in 13 appearances for Villarrobledo in Spain’s third tier this season and was also part of England’s 3×3 training camp squad this month.

Cheshire finished with a 13-14 record in the BBL Championship last season before losing in the quarter-finals of the playoffs to London Lions.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
