The 29-year-old guard will spend the 2026/27 season on loan with the London Lions, coached by Tautvydas Sabonis. “I communicated with Keenan Evans frequently throughout his rehabilitation, so we know his situation and the stage of recovery he is currently in,” Zalgiris president Paulius Jankunas said. Evans previously played for Zalgiris from 2022 to 2024, establishing himself among the EuroLeague’s leading guards. He returned to action in November 2025 but suffered another Achilles injury three days after his comeback, during a EuroLeague game against Zalgiris. In London, Evans will reunite with Sabonis and assistant coach Gintaras Krapikas, both of whom worked with him during his previous spell in Kaunas.
