The NBA is reinstating former Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans after banning him in 2019, the league announced on Monday.
Evans was dismissed and disqualified indefinitely in accordance with the NBA's anti-drug program after testing positive for a prohibited substance following his 2018-19 campaign with the Indiana Pacers.
He's now an unrestricted free agent who can negotiate with any franchise after 12 p.m. ET on Feb. 18.
The 32-year-old's best season came in his award-winning rookie campaign when he averaged 20.1 points, 5.8 assists, and 5.3 rebounds per game for the Sacramento Kings.
Evans has also spent time with the New Orleans Pelicans and Memphis Grizzlies.
