Difficult start for Evan Fournier with the Celtics against the Pelicans

Evan Fournier had a tough start in Boston -

Evan Fournier had done everything well for his arrival in Boston.

A message to fans of the Magic, a troll from the outset for his new non-French-speaking Celtics followers - which we will avoid mentioning to preserve your beautiful eyes.

In short, all that was needed was a good first with his new franchise to complete the job.

Except that everything did not go as the French wanted.

For one, the Celtics were beaten by the New Orleans Pelicans (109-115).

And again, if the affront had only been collective, we would no doubt have been less harsh with Fournier.

But his 0/10 (0/5 at three points) stings very strongly.

As ESPN reports, the Frenchman is only the 4th player to score a 0/10 (or worse) since 1954-55.

Brad Stevens supports Fournier

Not enough to discourage his new coach, however.

According to

, “Brad Stevens indicated that he came to see Evan Fournier in the locker room after the game to tell him it was just a small incident.

He has no doubts that Fournier will score a lot of points for the Celtics.
