76ers' Markelle Fultz (shoulder) to remain out Thursday night
According to CBS Philly's Jon Johnson, rookie guard Markelle Fultz will not play Thursday against the Boston Celtics.
What It Means:
Fultz has been getting shots up and participating in 5-on-5 drills in practice. He is nearing a return and could play as soon as January 15th against the Toronto Raptors. His eventual return will reduce the minutes of Jerryd Bayless, T.J. McConnell and Dario Saric.
Averaging 6.0 points and 12.6 FanDuel points through 4 games this season, Fultz is projected for 14.2 FD points if he's able to take the floor next week against the Raptors.
