Evan Fournier had a really horrible first game with the Celtics

Evan Fournier — the seasoned NBA vet whose name you’re NOT supposed to Google even if he tells you to do it as a joke — wasn’t exactly the best NBA trade deadline acquisition made by teams last week.

That said, we’re talking about a really, really good scorer who had 19.7 ppg with the Orlando Magic before the trade and the hope was he’d take his three-point shooting with him to Boston.

His first game was on Monday night, and in a 115-109 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans … I’ll just say that I bet he’ll have some way better games than this going forward:

Evan Fournier Celtics debut:

33 MINS
0 PTS
0-10 FG
0-5 3P

That’s the most scoreless minutes by a Celtic with 10+ attempts since the three-point era (1980). pic.twitter.com/vPZmZXADDJ

Nice 4th quarter comeback for #Celtics, but still an ugly loss overall.

Good news is Evan Fournier will be better next game… because he can't possibly play any worse.

Better days are ahead, but between this and the Celtics underachieving overall, this can’t feel good.
