Evan Fournier Signs with Olympiacos B.C.

Evan Fournier, the former NBA shooting guard, is set to continue his basketball career in Europe after signing a two-year contract with Greek EuroLeague team Olympiacos, valued at over $4 million. After 12 seasons in the NBA, where he averaged 13.6 points per game, Fournier's career has seen a decline following a lack of playing time with the New York Knicks and a brief stint with the Detroit Pistons. Notably, Fournier helped lead France to a silver medal at the recent Paris Olympics, showcasing his enduring talent. Throughout his NBA journey, he played for teams including the Denver Nuggets, Orlando Magic, Boston Celtics, and New York Knicks, with his most significant success during his time in Orlando. The move to Olympiacos marks a return to Europe for Fournier, who began his professional career overseas, and might allow him to contribute significantly as a key player. This transition raises questions about a potential NBA return in the future as he wraps up his playing career overseas.
