WATCH: Evan Fournier scores 21 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals vs. Trail Blazers (5/2)

It’s been an epic battle for the former Orlando Magic shooting guard, but veteran wing Evan Fournier overcame concussion-like symptoms lingering from a tough bout with COVID-19 to help the Boston Celtics push the Portland Trail Blazers to the final moments of their home loss Sunday night.

The Celtics would fall to Portland 129 – 119 despite Fournier’s 21 points, 5 rebounds, 3 assists and 2 steals, with the St. Maurice native shooting a sizzling 8-of-10 from the field and 5-of-7 from deep in 34 minutes of game time with just 1 turnover and 3 personal fouls on the night.

It was easily his best game since returning from a long bout in the NBA’s health and safety protocols on April 23.

Watch the video embedded above produced by Tomasz Kordylewski to see Fournier’s best plays from Sunday’s game against the Trail Blazers for yourself.
