The Greek Basketball League is giving the NBA a run for their money, and Evan Fournier is leading its way.
Recently, a basketball game took a dramatic turn when former NBA players Evan Fournier and Kendrick Nunn found themselves in an altercation.
Fournier, who played for the Boston Celtics for a brief stint in 2021, is now with Olympiacos B.C. While Nunn, a former member of the Los Angeles Lakers, is currently playing for Panathinaikos.
During the game, Nunn fouled Fournier pretty hard while he was going up for a shot, and that didn’t sit well with Fournier. Things heated up, but fortunately, their teammates stepped in before anything got out of hand.

However, many started reacting to the incident on social media, including the Los Angeles Clippers free agent Nicolas Batum.
The drama of the Greek Basket League Finals’ Game 3 is far from over. The Panathinaikos AKTOR Athens announced that they will take legal action against Evan Fournier for his obscene gesture.
Fournier made an obscene gesture towards supporters sitting courtside at OAKA Arena during the fourth quarter. Luckily, the gesture was caught live on national television.

While everybody saw him doing an explicit hand motion, it forced referees to halt the game temporarily. Additionally, Evan Fournier also received a technical foul and was ejected from the game.
After the game, several upset fans took matters into their own hands by heading to a local police station to file a formal complaint against Fournier for his offensive conduct. Panathinaikos also issued a strongly worded statement criticizing Fournier’s behavior.
The team has announced that they will pursue every legal avenue available.
“Panathinaikos BC will proceed with all legal actions as defined by Greek law, against Evan Fournier, who made the most offensive and provocative gesture ever witnessed in professional Greek basketball toward the fans of Panathinaikos,” the team said in their statement.
