Fournier captured his third bronze medal with the French national team, which defeated Australia in the third-place game and won six of its eight 2019 FIBA World Cup contests. The 26-year-old, who is getting ready to begin his sixth season with the Orlando Magic, averaged 19.8 points per game throughout the tournament, fourth best among current NBA players.
Fournier’s best game, despite it coming in a loss, was against the Aussies in the second round when he erupted for 31 points on 11-of-23 shooting from the floor. The 6-foot-7, 205-pounder was clutch throughout the competition, too, burying several late-game shots, including in the opener against Germany when he drilled a baseline jumper with 32 seconds left to seal France’s win.
