Fournier joined the EuroLeague following his Olympic run at the 2024 Paris games, where Fournier won a silver medal for the second time in his career.

Before reaching this point, Fournier had a long run in the NBA. In 2012, the 32-year-old was a first-round draft selection for the Denver Nuggets. After getting taken 20th overall, Fournier spent the first two years of his career with the Nuggets.

In 2014, Fournier joined the Orlando Magic. He ended up carving out a long and successful stint in Orlando, playing seven seasons for the Magic. During the 2020-2021 season, Fournier was traded to the Boston Celtics after making 26 appearances with the Magic.

During the 2021 offseason, Fournier struck a sign-and-trade to land with the New York Knicks. He would spend two full seasons in New York. During his third and final season on his deal, Fournier was traded to the Pistons. He appeared in 29 games for Detroit.
