Evan Fournier returned to Madison Square Garden for the first time since being traded by the Knicks. The Frenchman played 20 minutes, compiling 7 points and an assist.
He was booed by the New York fans at the start of the second quarter. He has played very little this season, New York coach Tom Thibodeau leaving him chomping at the bit on the bench during the majority of matches. He will not see the playoffs, Detroit having won only eight games out of 57 this season.
