SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -Sacramento Kings rookie point guard and leading scorer Tyreke Evans is not ready to return from a concussion and will miss the team’s next two road games, at Boston on Friday and Sunday’s contest at Cleveland.
The team says he will be re-evaluated Monday.
Evans, who sustained a concussion in last Friday night’s home loss to Milwaukee, didn’t make the Kings’ trip to Los Angeles last Sunday to play the Clippers and has missed three straight games.
He bruised his jaw, lacerated his gums and chipped his teeth after being hit by the Bucks’ Ersan Ilyasova’s inadvertent elbow while they were going for a loose ball.
Evans tried to practice Thursday but stopped midway through the workout because of a headache.
Evans is averaging 20.3 points in 37.3 minutes.
