Markelle Fultz hoped to return in December, but he could be a few days ahead of that schedule. According to Orlando Sentinelthe Magic point guard could make his season debut next night, the second straight reception from the Sixers, the team that drafted him in 2017.
The Orlando point guard has yet to play this season due to a broken left big toe.
” It’s complicated, with my competitive spirit, to see my brothers play, to see in which areas to help and not to be able to do it. This is probably the hardest part. I’m just waiting for my opportunity and supporting them as best I can off the pitch. When my time comes I really believe I’ll be ready “, he said recently.
Since his full season in 2019-2020 (72 games played), after two very partial first seasons with the 76ers (33 games played in all), the leader continues to accumulate physical glitches. He played 8 games during the 2020-2021 fiscal year then only 18 the following season…
If he returns well tonight, Cole Anthony (oblique) and Jonathan Isaac (knee) will be the last two long-term occupants of the Magic’s infirmary.
