Knicks’ $18.9 million burden picks up injury amid trade talks

Evan Fournier, New York Knicks shooting guard, has sustained a sprained ankle, an event that could potentially affect his trade value. The injury occurred during a game against Venezuela, and as a result, he did not participate in France’s 90-72 victory over Lithuania. Before leaving the game, Fournier had tallied 13 points, five rebounds, and four assists.

A Challenging Season with the Knicks

Fournier’s relationship with the Knicks has been strained since signing a four-year, $72 million contract in the 2021 offseason.

Last season, he was pushed out of the rotation, averaging just six points per game – his lowest since his 2012-13 rookie season.
