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.

Pistons Expected To Keep Evan Fournier?
1 year agoAccording to Michael Scotto of Hoops Hype, the Pistons are expected to keep guard Evan Fournier on the roster. The 31-year-old sharpshooter from France was traded to Detroit ahead of the deadline after spending three years in New York. He averaged 14.1 points in 80 games during the 2021-22 campaign. However, Fournier has played sparingly in the last two seasons and hasn't been a consistent presence in head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation. With this in mind, it appears there is a place for him in Detroit, considering he's logged 25 minutes in two games with the Pistons. Although Fournier has a way to go before earning a spot on fantasy rosters, he's still someone to keep on the radar, especially if he keeps getting playing time with his new team.
