Evan Fournier Joins Olympiacos on Two-Year Deal

After 12 seasons in the NBA, veteran guard Evan Fournier has decided to continue his basketball career with Greek powerhouse Olympiacos on a two-year deal worth over $4 million. Fournier, who recently helped Team France secure a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, opted for this move to be in a competitive environment rather than a mentoring role with the Washington Wizards. His tenure in the NBA included notable performances with the Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, and Detroit Pistons. Despite a successful NBA career, Fournier was eager for a change and to play a more significant role on the court. In Europe, Fournier anticipates a period of adaptation but looks forward to the emotional and competitive opportunities the EuroLeague presents. The 32-year-old swingman expressed excitement about experiencing new challenges and playing in front of passionate fans in Greece.
