Won't play Friday Fournier has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Wizards due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Fournier hasn't been part of the Knicks' rotation recently and will be unavailable for the team's first game after the All-Star break. Whether he'll be available for the second half of the back-to-back set Saturday against the Pelicans remains to be seen.

Rejoins rotation Sunday Fournier finished with a season-high 17 points (6-11 FG, 5-8 3Pt), one rebound, one assist and one steal in 24 minutes in Sunday's 108-97 win over the 76ers.

Impact After appearing in just 11 of the Knicks' previous 13 games, Fournier was thrust into the rotation Sunday when RJ Barrett (illness) was a late scratch. The Knicks' bench unit was instrumental in leading the Knicks to a 21-point comeback win, with Fournier going a plus-28 during his time on the court while pacing all reserves in scoring. Though it was an impressive showing for a player who hadn't see much court time lately, Fournier could find himself right back outside of the rotation if Barrett is cleared for Tuesday's game in Orlando.

Clear of injury report for Saturday Fournier (personal) isn't listed on the injury report ahead of Saturday's game versus the Nets.

Impact Fournier has been away from the team for the last two games after logging 21 minutes against the Raptors on Jan. 22. However, he was on the outside of the rotation looking in prior to that, failing to see the floor in any of the previous six games. So, the veteran guard may not have a role Saturday despite being available.

Still out Thursday Fournier (personal) is out Thursday against the Celtics.

Impact Fournier will miss a second straight game due to a personal matter, which popped up one game after making his way back into the rotation. His next chance to play is Saturday against the Nets.

Won't play Tuesday Fournier will not suit up Tuesday versus the Cavaliers for personal reasons.

Impact Fournier made his way back to the floor Sunday against the Raptors after being out of the rotation previously, but it appears he has a personal matter to tend to Tuesday. The veteran guard's next opportunity to don the uniform again arrives Thursday in Boston.

Randle's 35 leads Knicks over Rockets 108-88 to snap skid

Spotted playing basketball Thursday Fournier accumulated 11 points (4-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two steals across 17 minutes during Thursday's 122-115 loss to the Spurs.

Impact Fournier re-entered the rotation Thursday, his first action since mid-November. It's been a disastrous season for Fournier, going from starting on opening night to being nothing more than a spectator. He slid back into the rotation purely out of necessity and even still logged just 17 minutes. Even when he was starting, Fournier was far from a must-roster player, meaning managers need not concern themselves with this performance.

Cut out of rotation Fournier (coach's decision) went unused off the bench in Tuesday's 118-111 win over the Jazz.

Impact For the first time all season, Fournier found himself outside of head coach Tom Thibodeau's rotation, as the Knicks turned to Immanuel Quickley to cover all the backup minutes on the wing behind starters RJ Barrett and Cam Reddish. Even if Thibodeau elects to extend his rotation from nine men to 10 in future contests, Fournier isn't a surefire bet to get the nod for the 10th spot over Quentin Grimes, a first-round draft pick from a year ago whose development is likely a greater priority. Fournier's move out of the rotation came after he averaged just 2.7 points on 20 percent shooting from the field in his six games since losing his spot in the starting five.

Blanked from field Friday Fournier posted three points (0-5 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 3-4 FT), two rebounds and one assist in 12 minutes during Friday's 121-112 win over the Pistons.

Impact Fournier managed his only three points from the free-throw line but couldn't find the bottom of the net from the field in this one. He has seen his playing time dwindle of late, logging 14 or fewer minutes in four of the five games since he moved to the bench. The only game he saw more was a blowout loss to the Nets on Wednesday, so there's little to read into there. At this point, the veteran floor spacer may be relegated to a small rotational role unless injuries necessitate an increase.

Bottoms out in Monday's win Fournier recorded two points (1-3 FG, 0-2 3Pt), one rebound, three assists and two steals over 12 minutes during Monday's 120-107 win over Minnesota.

Impact Fournier played just 12 minutes off the bench Monday, the third consecutive game in which he has seen fewer than 15 minutes. Outside of a couple of decent scoring nights, Fournier's decline has been quite dramatic, with him going from 33 minutes on Opening Night to now barely being in the rotation. Clearly, he can be dropped in all competitive leagues.

Drops to bench role Fournier will appear off the bench Friday against the 76ers.

Impact Fournier hasn't produced a ton of late, and Grimes seemed like a prime candidate to eventually take over a starting job. That will indeed be the case Friday, which could also result in a slight minutes reduction for Fournier.

Poor shooting in loss Fournier posted three points (1-6 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and one assist in 19 minutes during Wednesday's 112-99 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Fournier has struggled so far this season, averaging 10.6 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists on 40.0 field-goal percentage in 24.4 minutes across seven games. Immanuel Quickley played a season-high 29 points, which might become a regular occasion if Fournier continues to play poorly.

Unimpactful in loss Friday Fournier racked up 11 points (4-12 FG, 3-7 3Pt) and four rebounds across 20 minutes during Friday's 119-108 loss to Milwaukee.

Impact Fournier started but played just 20 minutes, continuing what has been an underwhelming start to the season. His overall value is primarily tied to scoring, something that he has not been able to do on a consistent basis. The Knicks now have multiple other options when it comes to getting shots away, so Fournier is essentially nothing more than a possible streaming candidate.

Monotonous performance Monday Fournier produced eight points (2-8 FG, 2-8 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Monday's 115-102 victory over Orlando.

Impact Fournier remains a part of the starting unit for the Knicks, although his recent production would tell another story. With very little upside outside of scoring and triples, Fournier falls into the streaming category in most competitive leagues. He will occasionally blow up, at which time he could become a short-term pickup but even then, savvy managers are knowledgeable enough to know what is real and what isn't.
