Fournier’s removal from the New York team’s rotation was due to his poor performance during last season. However, things seem to be improving as he has seen some good playing time in the pre-season. In any case, Gobert claims that the treatment of his compatriot is ‘disrespectful’. “It’s a shame it seems disrespectful. When things go like this and communication doesn’t go as he would like with his coach. But I think it’s better now. I expect”he completed.
