We have investigated correlations between evaporated protons and discrete \ensuremath{\gamma} rays in the heavy-ion fusion-evaporation reactions $^{58}\mathrm{Ni}$${(}^{27}$Al,3p${)}^{82}$Sr and $^{58}\mathrm{Ni}$${(}^{28}$Si,4p${)}^{82}$Sr. 3p-\ensuremath{\gamma} and 4p-\ensuremath{\gamma} coincidences were measured using a 4\ensuremath{\pi} charged-particle detector array. The events studied were completely reconstructed kinematically in order to determine the excitation energy of formation of $^{82}\mathrm{Sr}$. Correlations arising from well-understood kinematic effects were measured and found to be well reproduced by predictions made by the statistical-model evaporation code pace2. Dynamical correlations due to nuclear structure effects were searched for by measuring proton spectra in coincidence with discrete \ensuremath{\gamma} rays from four rotational bands in $^{82}\mathrm{Sr}$. Contrary to published results, no significant shifts of the first moment of the spectra were observed.
