While the Sixers‘ front office was supposedly uncertain whether or not Markelle Fultz would be available to return to their lineup this season, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reports that the second-year guard does plan to suit up in 2018/19.
Fultz has joined the Sixers for their Christmas Day game against the Celtics today, accompanying his teammates for the first time in three weeks.
Wojnarowski reports that Fultz does plan to leave the squad again in order to continue his rehabilitation in Los Angeles but has, per his agent Raymond Brothers, seen an improvement in his range of motion since beginning to work to address his Thoracic Outlet Syndrome diagnosis.
Not surprisingly, Fultz and Brothers intend to let the former first overall pick work his way back to 100% before being thrust back into the lineup but they do expect that milestone to come before the end of the 2018/19 campaign.
Wojnarowski notes that the club has fielded trade offers for the 20-year-old but that they are interested in seeing how he fares throughout the course of his rehabilitation.
do not trade him, we waited for Joel, Noel, Ben & trusted the process so continue to do so the kid is only 20
why are you crediting woj this was in blands presser days ago
He’ll never make it in Philly. The cloud will hang over him as long as he’s there. He’s a prime example of change of scenery needed
He has barely played…whenever he gets on the court that will be a change of scenery.
Chrismas Miracle!!!
I’d love to tell my boss I’m stepping away because my feelings have been crushed – make sure those 7 figure checks keep coming. Clown show 101
I mean, we would all love to tell our boss that. But what does that have to do with Fultz? Nothing about this has to do with feelings. Clown.
Accomplish more in your life and you’ll be less jealous
Fultz hasn’t actually accomplished anything…. Guaranteed 25 M.
