So close, yet so far away.
Just a few days ago, when the Knicks found themselves down 2-1 in the second-round series against Miami and ahead of a pivotal Game 5, Tom Thibodeau floated the idea of digging deeper into New York’s bench and using Evan Fournier.
Didn’t happen. It wasn’t even close, really. And now that we’ve heard the Frenchman’s own version of his situation in NYC, the truth is that Fournier making it to the court this postseason donning Knickerbocker threads were never truly there.
Fournier didn’t talk to the media publicly following the Knicks’ elimination from the playoffs last Friday, but he spoke with the New York Post and shared a few interesting nuggets with them about his past, present, and future in New York.
