Evan Fournier Throws Massive Shade at NBA After Amassing Over $145 Million in 12 Years: "From Detroit to the Olympics"

"That's not what I have in mind," Evan Fournier told the French media when they asked if he had any plans to return to Europe. This instance happened when he was training with the French national team. And given that the Pistons had released him, the question was understandable. Fast forward to early September and the news is out that Fournier signed a two-year, $4 million deal to play for Greece-based Olympiacos. Interestingly, it seems that this move from the NBA to Europe was just what he needed.

The 2023-24 season wasn't too kind to Fournier. For one, he never really got enough playing time. And although he fell out of the rotation with the Knicks, after three seasons with them, Detroit soon picked him up. But the 31-year-old did not really find it fulfilling.

In fact, he said, "Going from Detroit to the Olympics gave me life. I want to continue like this," in an honest admission to Eurohoops. Clearly, he was frustrated with his NBA life.
