The 27-year-old has spent the entirety of his five-year career with the Utah Jazz. In 219 career regular-season games, he's averaging 3.7 points and 2.7 rebounds a game.

Signing Evans won't radically alter the Mavericks' fortunes over the next couple of seasons, but he certainly helps bring some depth to a team in desperate need of warm bodies.
