Pistons decline team option on Evan Fournier, EuroLeague teams interested – TalkBasket.net

The Detroit Pistons have declined their team option on Evan Fournier, making him a free agent, and EuroLeague teams are showing interest in the French guard.

NBA insider Evan Sidery tweeted that the Pistons will not pick up Fournier’s $19 million team option.

This past season, 31-year-old Fournier averaged 7.2 points off the bench for the Pistons after being traded from the New York Knicks.

Fournier, known for his scoring ability and experience, is expected to draw significant interest from top EuroLeague teams. According to Basket USA, the two EuroLegaue teams mentioned in rumors are Olympiacos and ASVEL.

Fournier’s potential return to Europe could bolster any EuroLeague team’s roster with his scoring and veteran presence.

Fournier has previously played for several NBA teams, including the Orlando Magic, Denver Nuggets, Boston Celtics, and the New York Knicks.

With the Pistons declining his option, Fournier’s NBA future remains uncertain as EuroLeague teams position themselves to sign the experienced guard.

Fournier’s international experience with the French national team makes him a valuable asset for any EuroLeague team.
