Evan Fournier Bounces Back with 21 Points
7 years agoOrlando Magic guard/forward Evan Fournier scored 21 points on 8-for-14 shooting Wednesday against Milwaukee. Fournier wiped away Tuesday's poor performance, as it is the first time in five games where he has shot over 50 percent from the field. It's also only the second time since returning from an ankle injury where Fournier has scored over 20 points. He also added four rebounds, three assists, a steal and a blocked shot in 27 minutes. Hopefully, this is a sign of things to come for those who have stuck with Fournier through the injury and waited for him to shake off the rust.

Evan Fournier Expected To Generate Interest As Free Agent
9 months agoFrench veteran Evan Fournier finds himself going to the Paris Olympics as a free agent, but he could be back in the NBA for next season. According to NBA insider Marc Stein, Fournier is expected to generate interest among "some" NBA teams. Fournier became a free agent after the Detroit Pistons declined a $19 million team option on his contract. He is also expected to draw interest from EuroLeague teams. Fournier has been an afterthought in the NBA in recent seasons, making only 59 appearances across two campaigns, but he's been a capable scorer in the league and could re-ignite his career if he lands in a good situation.

Pistons Decline Team Option On Evan Fournier
10 months agoThe Pistons declined the team option on guard Evan Fournier. He is now heading toward unrestricted free agency. The 31-year-old began the 2023-24 campaign with the Knicks. However, he appeared in only three games for New York before being moved ahead of the trade deadline. Fournier suited up in 29 games for the Pistons, and he finished the year by averaging 7.2 points and 1.9 assists. He was due to make $19 million had Detroit kept him, so this move wasn't surprising. Still, Fournier will likely find work elsewhere in the National Basketball Association, although he probably won't see much action, considering his production has declined significantly over the last few seasons.
