Rimas Kurtinaitis, Khimki Moscow Region head coach:

“Jeremy is a very athletic and fast player, who is good on rebounding, because last season we had some crucial problems with rebounds. I think Evans will help us a lot in this respect. He can play both fourth and fifth positions. I think very highly of Evans. He played well in Khimki couple of seasons ago, and last year in Darussafaka. So, we took a very good power forward, who will definitely strengthen our team”.

Jeremy Evans, Khimki Moscow Region forward:

“I’m ready to return to Khimki and have a better season than before. Can’t wait to represent the club that took care of me through a tough injury in my career. I have some unfinished business there and can’t wait to get started”.
