Kings fans can breathe again. Results of an X-Ray taken Saturday morning revealed no fractures in the jaw of rookie Tyreke Evans. Jimmy Spencer of NBA.com is reporting Evans will miss at least one week. A fractured jaw likely would have ended Evans' season.
Evans was hurt in the final seconds of regulation in Sacramento's 114-108 loss to Milwaukee. Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova caught Evans with a hard elbow, sending Evans crumpling to the floor.
A concussion, cracked teeth and lacerated gums were confirmed Friday night, but the severity of Evans' injury was not going to be known until Saturday's X-Ray.
Evans will not travel with the team to Los Angeles for tomorrow's game against the Clippers. He will be re-evaluated on Monday.
