NEW YORK (AP) — The “Welcome to New York” signs decorating the outside of Madison Square Garden and hanging behind him were nice, though unnecessary. Now he gets to see what he can do while playing there for the New York Knicks. Fournier, like many around the NBA, called Madison Square Garden his favorite arena. The swingman averaged 17.1 points last season for Orlando and Boston and should provide scoring punch for a Knicks team that defended well under Tom Thibodeau but was searching for more offense in the offseason. The Knicks announced Tuesday they had acquired Fournier along with a pair of second-round draft picks for cash considerations.
