Opposing defenses never know which player it’ll be, but on a game-by-game basis, at least one of the Brooklyn Nets’ many versatile swingmen will make a standout play or two, drawing eyeballs from across the NBA globe. Positioned for his own close-up on January 27, 2025, Tosan Evbuomwan seizes his opportunity, resetting the offense in preparation of a mano-a-mano against the always-energetic Keon Ellis. Unhurried in his attack, per usual, Evbuomwan craftily works into the paint with a spin move before balancing himself for an off-glass layup, securing a highlight sequence. Evbuomwan’s efforts helped the Nets remain competitive, even as they entered as 12.5-point underdogs on their home floor. Introducing a stretch in which he was a double-figure scorer in four of the next five games, the second-year forward concluded the evening with 15 points (on 5-of-10 shooting), alongside eight rebounds, two assists, two steals, and one 3-pointer across 29 minutes of play. · Jan 28, 2025
