Sixers still not sure when Markelle Fultz (shoulder) will return to game action
The Philadelphia 76ers are unsure when rookie guard Markelle Fultz will return to the floor.
What It Means:
The overall number-one pick in this year's draft, Fultz will have missed his 35th straight game on Thursday. He's been working in 5-on-5 and looks ready to get back. A January 15th return has been thrown around, but it hasn't been confirmed by Fultz or the team. When he does get back out there, expect him to steal minutes from Jerryd Bayless, T.J. McConnell and Dario Saric.
Averaging 12.6 FanDuel points through just 4 games, Fultz is projected for 21.1 minutes and 14.2 FD points in the event that he takes the floor Monday against the Toronto Raptors.
