Evan Fournier Questionable To Play Wednesday
Evan Fournier (back) is listed as questionable Wednesday against the New York Knicks. Fournier has missed five straight games with his lingering back issue, but was able to go through a full non-contact practice on Tuesday. Fournier has been closer to a game-time call lately and we will likely know his status after the team's shootaround. Fournier will be much needed with Cole Anthony (ribs) now sidelined for the rest of the month, but Dwayne Bacon should continue to start and be a decent source of three-pointers.

Evan Fournier Expected To Generate Interest As Free Agent
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
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.

The 31-year-old French sharpshooter has averaged 4.6 points in 19.0 minutes per game over his last 10 outings. His return won't boost the team's rotation, as Detroit has lost 12 of 13 games.
