Under the anti-drug program, Evans is eligible to apply for reinstatement two years from now.
No details were given as to what the offence Evans committed was as the NBA, NBA teams, and the Players Association are prohibited from publicly disclosing information regarding the testing or treatment of any NBA player under the anti-drug program, other than to announce a player’s suspension or dismissal from the league.
