“Excited to finally be out”: Evan Fournier eager to relaunch career after leaving New York Knicks for Detroit Pistons

Veteran shooting guard Evan Fournier has revealed that he is ‘excited’ to have left his former franchise and is looking forward for a new challenge.
The 31-year-old recently traded from the New York Knicks to Detroit Pistons in the mid-season transfer window.
Fournier was recently quoted in a report where he stated that he is looking forward to having a chance to resurrect his career at his new franchise.
"You go through physicals," he said. "You meet everyone. You go through plays. A few practices. I'm really excited to finally be out of New York. So, looking forward to a new opportunity."
When asked about his opinion regarding his new side, Fournier was of the opinion that while its hard to judge from a couple of practice sessions, it seems like a ‘young’ and ‘enthusiastic’ side.
“I mean, it's kind of hard to give you feedback on two practices,” he said. “You know, but just from watching those last three games and, you know, the couple of practices, a high -energy team with a lot of enthusiasm, a hard -playing team. So yeah, so far so good. The practices were good today.”
Talking about his role in the Nuggets side, the Saint-Maurice-born stated that he will just be himself and will be open to helping the younger players as well.
“You know, it's always, you know, tough questions,” he said. “I'm just going to be myself, and if I can help, you know, the young guys with what I see them out, you know, I'll gladly do it. First of all, I have to know them.
“You know, I'm just like, get here and say, you know, maybe you should do this, or, you know, I have to get them, you know, on my side, get to know them personally and, you know, start working with them in that sense.”
