49ers’ Mike Evans makes surprising admission about Valkyries-Aces game he attended

San Francisco 49ers receiver Mike Evans made an unexpected comment about a WNBA game he recently attended between the Las Vegas Aces and Golden State Valkyries. Evans praised the atmosphere of the game, saying it was "probably the best basketball game I’ve ever been to." Despite dealing with a rib injury causing "stabbing" pain, Evans played through it and was listed as a game-time decision for the 49ers' Week 4 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

The 49ers now have a key player who is not only dealing with injuries but also shows enthusiasm for local basketball, potentially extending his time in San Francisco further.
