76ers' Markelle Fultz (shoulder) won't return this week
Per The Athletic's Derek Bodner, Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz will not play this week.
What It Means:
Some rumors were circulating about Fultz' possible return on Friday. The Sixers are reportedly "encouraged" by his progress, but they'll have to wait a little longer for him to get back on the floor. There's still a chance he doesn't play this season, though recent videos show an improved shot with better shoulder movement.
Our models project Fultz to play 250 minutes with 87 points, 45 rebounds and 18 assists over the rest of the season.
