Keenan Evans returns to action with London Lions debut

American guard Keenan Evans has officially returned to competitive basketball, making his debut for the London Lions in the EuroCup. Evans, who is on loan from Zalgiris, played 22:43 minutes in the match against Seattle.

During his comeback appearance, Evans recorded 5 points, 1 rebound, and 4 assists, while committing no fouls. This return follows a difficult period marked by significant injuries, including an Achilles tendon rupture suffered in November 2025 while playing for Olympiacos against Zalgiris.

After a lengthy recovery and rehabilitation process, the EuroCup welcomed the player back via social media, highlighting his first points with his new team. Evans had previously played for Zalgiris from 2022 to 2024 before his stint with Olympiacos was interrupted by serious knee and Achilles injuries.
