Silent on social networks since the elimination of France at the Basketball World Cup, Evan Fournier posted a long message on Tuesday evening, where he calls for unity around the Blues and assures that this group has “still the magic to give”.

Evan Fournier dreamed of living a great summer with the France team, he who languished for a large part of the NBA season at the end of the New York Knicks bench. It’s missed… Even if the 30-year-old finished as the top scorer for the Blues at the World Cup with an average of 22.8 points per game, he could not prevent the elimination of his team.

Silent on social networks since the unexpected elimination of the Olympic vice-champions, Fournier published a long message on Tuesday evening. He calls on everyone to recognize their responsibilities, starting with him, but assures that this group still has “magic to give”.

Since 2019, this group has been fighting to bring French basketball to the world level. With success, writes the offensive leader of the Blues. This year, we failed in our mission. It’s a huge disappointment for us players, and a huge disappointment for you fans. We’re sorry about that. For several days we have all been looking for explanations. It is essential to find solutions and bounce back next year. Some talk about arrogance or smugness, the reality is that we just didn’t measure up. This is sometimes the harsh reality of high level sport, and you have to accept it. It is a collective failure, a failure in which none of us seeks to shirk its share of responsibility. Me first. Neither disrespect nor finger pointing will help us get up. Even though some media or some personalities seem strangely happy about our failure, nothing should separate us. We love this French team and we will continue to fight for it. We have made you proud in the past during the last 3 campaigns, and I remain convinced that this group still has some magic to give. At the Paris Olympic Games in 2024, for example? In the meantime, Evan Fournier will have to settle the question of his future in the club because, before Paris 2024, he cannot afford to stay a year without playing… and I remain convinced that this group still has magic to give.
