More on this storyline

Olympiacos Piraeus superstar Evan Fournier explained his decision to join the Reds and return to Europe after 12 years in the NBA. “I had already thought about going back to Europe,” Fournier said in an interview with L’Equipe. “If it was to experience something strong, emotions, in a place where it was on fire, it was 100 percent yes. I would have liked to experience more things in the NBA, I only made the playoffs five times. But you don’t control everything about your destiny there. After the Olympic Games, I told my agent that I was keen to [return to Europe]. Olympiakos was my priority.” -via EuroHoops.net / September 4, 2024
