The Seattle SuperSonics have re-signed forward Reggie Evans to a multi-year deal, General Manager Rick Sund announced today. Per team policy, terms were not disclosed. Evans, a restricted free agent, visited the Denver Nuggets, but demonstrated all summer long that he wanted to re-sign with the Sonics. Evans participated in the team?s pre-summer-league-camp, and reported to Seattle earlier this month to participate in informal workouts.

Evans got his deal done in time to participate in the Sonics first practice of the season this morning, something he said was important. ?I don?t like missing practice,? Evans said afterward. ?I knew I was going to sign ? I was not going to miss practice. The only way I?m going to miss practice is if it?s an emergency.? The motivation for that came from within, Evans added. ?I?m not trying to please my coaching staff, or my teammates or anybody upstairs.?

After joining the Sonics as an undrafted free agent a year ago, Evans now has the security of a two-year deal. Still, he can?t get complacent. ?I can?t get satisfied with it. I?m not satisfied with it, so I just have to continue to work hard and make things even better in the future.?
