Evan Fournier: Scores 10 points in loss to Germany
Evan 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 Evan 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
Evan 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 Detroit 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: Ruled out Saturday
Evan 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
Evan 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
Evan 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 Detroit 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
Evan 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 Detroit 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.
