Granted, his Celtics tenure was fairly short-lived and uneventful, and represented Brad Stevens' final, unremarkable season as the franchise's head coach before transitioning to a team president role in its front office.

Former 12-year NBA shooting guard Evan Fournier was traded to Boston from the Denver Nuggets at the 2020-21 trade deadline for former All-Star point guard Jeff Teague and a pair of second-round draft picks.

In 16 subsequent games for Boston (10 starts), Fournier averaged 13.0 points while connecting on .448/.463/.714 shooting splits. He also submitted averages of 3.3 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.6 rejections a night.

Fournier was elevated to a full-time starting role with the Celtics in the playoffs, averaging 15.4 points on a .429/.433/.833 slash line, 3.6 boards, 1.4 dishes, and 1.2 swipes in a brisk five-game playoff series loss. He left for the New York Knicks in an offseason sign-and-trade.

Per EuroLeague squad Olympiacos, Fournier has agreed to a three-season contract extension to stick with the team.

"Olympiacos welcomed me like family. This is not a new chapter, it is the continuation of something strong. I couldn't be happier to be part of this sacred club for another three seasons," Fournier said in a team presser announcing the deal.
