Top Evan Fournier News

  • Evan Fournier: Finalizing overseas deal

    Fournier and Olympiacos have agreed to a three-year contract, Eurohoops reports.

    After 12 seasons in the NBA, Fournier is headed overseas, where he will become a featured player for Olympiacos. In 704 career regular-season NBA games, Fournier posted averages of 13.6 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.5 assists and 1.9 three-pointers while shooting 44.1 percent from the field.

  • Evan Fournier: Scores 10 points in loss to Germany

    Fournier had 10 points (2-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 4-4 FT), one rebound and one assist for France in Friday's 85-71 loss to Germany.

    Fournier was one of three France players who scored in double digits in the loss, joining Victor Wembanyama and Isaia Cordinier. Even though his final stat line wasn't exactly eye-popping, Fournier should remain one of France's most reliable offensive weapons in the knockout stage. A strong showing in the Olympics could entice an NBA team to take a gamble on Fournier before the start of training camp.

  • Evan Fournier: Team declines option

    The Pistons declined Fournier's $19 million team option Friday, James L. Edwards III of The Athletic reports.

    The move was fully anticipated, as Fournier had fallen well short of expectations since joining the Knicks on a three-year, $54 million deal in August 2021 as part of a sign-and-trade deal with the Celtics. The veteran wing was outside of the New York rotation before being dealt to Detroit prior to the deadline. He then averaged 7.2 points, 1.9 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 triples across 18.7 minutes in 29 games with the team. He'll likely have to settle for a one-year deal -- perhaps at the veteran's minimum -- if he's to keep his NBA career going.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Season-high 21 points vs. Philly

    Fournier finished with 21 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 4-4 FT), three rebounds, two blocks and one steal over 26 minutes during Tuesday's 120-102 loss to the 76ers.

    Fournier returned from a one-game absence due to a sore right knee. He led the bench in scoring Tuesday, and he finished behind only Jaden Ivey in that category. Fournier's 21 points marked a season high for the 12-year veteran, and his playing time has waxed and waned since joining the Pistons at the trade deadline. He could see more action for Thursday's game against the Bulls if Cade Cunningham (knee) continues to miss time.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Available for Tuesday

    Fournier (knee) is available for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

    Fournier was previously considered probable due to right knee soreness. In 25 appearances for Detroit, Fournier has averaged 6.5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 1.1 three-pointers in 17.7 minutes.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Probable for Tuesday's game

    Fournier (knee) is probable for Tuesday's game against the 76ers.

    Fournier missed Saturday's game against the Nets due to a sore right knee, but he'll likely be back in action a few days later. Over his last 10 appearances, he's averaged 4.6 points in 19.0 minutes per game.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Ruled out Saturday

    Fournier won't play in Saturday's game in Brooklyn due to right knee soreness.

    After logging double-digit minutes in 11 straight games, Fournier played just three minutes in Friday's 108-90 loss to the Grizzlies, so the knee injury could explain the light workload. With Fournier out for the second leg of the back-to-back set, Jared Rhoden will likely be included in the rotation as a backup forward behind Tosan Evbuomwan and Troy Brown.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Poor shooting in loss

    Fournier accumulated five points (2-8 FG, 1-5 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, one block and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 110-108 loss to the Grizzlies.

    This season has been extremely forgettable for the 31-year-old, who appeared in only three contests for the Knicks before being traded to Detroit on Feb. 8. Since the trade, Fournier has averaged 7.1 points on 36.5 percent shooting in 18.7 minutes. Expect Fournier to receive less playing time moving forward as Marcus Sasser (illness) and Simone Fontecchio (toe) look to return.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Leads team in scoring Sunday

    Fournier had a team-high 18 points (6-14 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 2-3 FT), four rebounds, one assist and three steals across 31 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 104-101 loss to Miami.

    All five Detroit starters scored in double digits, but none topped Fournier's 18 points. It was the 31-year-old's best scoring performance since coming over from the Knicks, and the first time he played more than 30 minutes as Ausar Thompson (illness) missed his fourth straight game and Quentin Grimes (knee) missed his second straight. There's no real role for Fournier on a rebuilding Pistons roster when the younger wing options are healthy, but he might have some short-term DFS appeal.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Pops for season-high 17 in loss

    Fournier provided a season-high 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, five assists and one steal across 26 minutes off the bench during Sunday's 113-91 loss to Orlando.

    No Detroit starter managed more than 11 points on the night, and Fournier's 17 from the second unit wound up leading the team. The 26 minutes tied the highest workload he's seen so far since joining the Pistons, and he's scored in double digits five times in eight games for his new club while shooting 40.6 percent (13-for-32) from beyond the arc. The 31-year-old isn't part of Detroit's future, but he should have a fairly consistent role in the rotation for the rest of 2023-24.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Booed extensively

    Fournier logged seven points (3-5 FG, 1-3 3Pt), one assist and two steals in 20 minutes during Monday's 113-111 loss to the Knicks.

    Fournier was not warmly received upon his return to Madison Square Garden, but he scored effectively in his fifth game as a Piston. Marcus Sasser (knee) is expected to miss the next week, which should lead to a rotational role for the Frenchman.

  • Pistons' Evan Fournier: Off injury report

    Fournier isn't on the injury report for Tuesday's game versus the Lakers.

    Fournier wasn't available for Saturday's 112-106 loss to the Clippers after the Pistons acquired him from the Knicks two days prior, but he'll suit up Tuesday after getting the chance to practice with his new team over the weekend. However, the rebuilding Pistons aren't likely to prioritize minutes for the 31-year-old Fournier, who could find himself outside of the rotation like he had been in New York.
