Dana Evans

Evans was a key contributor off the Aces bench in her first season in Las Vegas in 2025, taking the floor in every regular season contest while providing a nice spark offensively and from deep among the second unit. The two-time WNBA champion now enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and we could very well see Las Vegas retain her to provide a lift off the bench in 2026.

Evans picked up the slack off the bench for a struggling Jackie Young, who only hit three of her 11 field-goal attempts Friday. Evans became the first player in WNBA Finals history to make five three-pointers and record four steals in a game.

Evans was sharp off the bench, giving the Aces a spark. She and Jewell Loyd each scored in double digits as reserves. Evans is averaging 12.0 points, 3.0 assists, 1.5 rebounds and 1.0 steals in two games in WNBA semifinals against the Fever, and she is hitting a robust 61.1 percent (11-18 FG) from the field.

Although Evans came off the bench once again Sunday, she saw plenty of playing time since the Aces jumped out to a comfortable lead to begin the playoffs. The 27-year-old has been an inconsistent contributor recently, as she's scored in double figures in two of her last three appearances, but she was held scoreless during Thursday's regular-season finale. However, she should continue to have opportunities to provide a spark off the bench for the Aces during postseason play.

Evans has played a decent-sized role for the second unit this season, but it hasn't translated to much fantasy value. Across 42 appearances, she holds averages of 6.6 points, 2.0 assists and 1.0 rebounds in 17.6 minutes per game.
