Playing in the NBA is a dream for many aspiring ballers. But while only a handful get to play in the NBA, surprisingly, there are players that don’t want to be in the league even if they’re good enough to be in it.
Evan Fournier and the Detroit Pistons had quite the seasons for all the wrong reasons. After the Pistons were the top pick to win the NBA Draft Lottery, the projection went south.
How many of the NBA players with at least 30 games with 30 points in the postseason can you name in five minutes?
When discussing young NBA teams, we often focus on their potential to become great. However, what’s usually overlooked is the learning curve they must face before reaching that potential.
Fournier spent 12 years in the NBA before returning to Europe this summer.
Evan Fournier, a long-time NBA vet, closed the door on a respectable career in America this summer when he chose to head overseas to continue his playing career.
Evan Fournier spent 12 seasons in the NBA and went from being a Playoff-caliber co-star to an end-of-the-bench veteran over that time. He ended last season on the woeful Detroit Pistons, a very frustrating experience for the French shooting guard, which prompted him to sign with Olympiacos in Europe.
Many NBA veterans cut their time in the league short because they would rather pursue other opportunities over sitting the bench. While some teams value a veteran presence on the bench who plays a small role on the court and a big role in the locker room, not every player is willing to accept such a role.
Evan Fournier recently made headlines by turning down a two-year contract offer from the Washington Wizards in favor of signing a two-year, $4 million deal with Olympiacos in the EuroLeague.
Losing teams often relegate players on the wrong side of 30 to the bench as mentors to the young guns tasked to carry the franchise back to relevance. Despite reduced playing time, many players accept this role and thrive in their new capacities as glue guys and locker room vets.
He had an opportunity to extend his NBA career, but he revealed that he declined a two-year offer from the Wizards.
After a summer filled with rumors, the next destination for former first-round pick Evan Fournier was recently revealed. After 12 years in the NBA, Fournier signed with the EuroLeague’s Olympiacos.
This week, it was revealed that 12-year NBA veteran Evan Fournier would be leaving the NBA to play for the Euroleague club Olympiacos. For much of Fournier's career, he spent it on the Orlando Magic as teammates with Chicago Bulls' All-Star Nikola Vucevic.
Evan Fournier is officially moving on from the Detroit Pistons. The 12-year NBA veteran will not continue to serve an NBA squad, though. Earlier this summer, it was suggested Fournier could take a deal overseas to continue his career.
Evan Fournier’s efforts in helping France to an Olympic silver medal got him a job. Just not in the NBA.
A brief stint with the Detroit Pistons last season saw the 31-year-old get a small uptick in playing time, but failed to reignite his NBA career.
The French swingman is “seriously considering” the possibility of returning to Europe.
Currently, veteran forward Evan Fournier is not set to join an NBA roster for the 2024-2025 NBA season. Although Fournier had a team option with the Detroit Pistons after they acquired him from the New York Knicks at the 2024 NBA trade deadline, the Pistons declined it, making him a free agent.
The Pistons may not be an attractive destination for free agents, but they have plenty of cap space to play with and are eager to use it.
The Pistons will not pick up guard Evan Fournier‘s team option for next season worth $19M.
Detroit Pistons veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier has to be somewhat happy about being traded by the New York Knicks ahead of the NBA Trade Deadline.
According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Evan Fournier will finish the season with the Detroit Pistons. The New York Knicks traded Fournier to the Pistons on February 8.
After spending the better part of the last two seasons on the bench in New York, he was traded from the Knicks to the Pistons as a salary-matching piece in the deadline-day deal that sent Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks out of Detroit.
The New York Knicks are approaching the NBA trade deadline with a lot of options. Their OG Anunoby deal has been a stunning success so far, and now it seems like they are a move or two away from being a legit title contender.
There are few, if any certainties surrounding modern New York Knicks basketball. But one can more or less assume that Evan Fournier has no place in a fully healthy Manhattan rotation.
Evan Fournier has made two appearances for the Knicks this season. The veteran guard has been exiled from Tom Thibodeau's rotation since November 15, 2022. Since then, Fournier has been used sparingly by the Knicks, often finding himself glued to the bench.
The San Antonio Spurs could have interest in trading for disgruntled New York Knicks guard Evan Fournier.
