With the loss, Detroit fell to 12-55, the second-worst record in the NBA.

Fournier, in his 12th NBA campaign, joined the struggling Pistons last month in a deal that sent Bojan Bogdanovic to the New York Knicks.

The Frenchman, selected 20th overall in the first round of the 2012 NBA Draft by Denver, has averaged 7.2 points, 1.9 rebounds and 1.3 assists a game this season for the Knicks and Pistons.

Fournier, who helped France capture Tokyo Olympic silver, has averaged 13.8 points, 2.7 rebounds and 2.5 assists over 690 career NBA games with Denver, Orlando, Boston, the Knicks and Detroit.
