Markelle Fultz to make his season debut Monday, February 28

When is Fultz returning to live games?

The Forum has been speculating for months and posting pre-game video shoot arounds, etc.

When is he coming back?

Next season?

Does ANYONE have inside information on his return or are we all speculating?

Cbssports has said many things about Fultz and JI. They will be right one time I guess.

Finally getting a real PG. Can't wait.

This is the best news I've heard in a while. Fultz is THAT guy to me. His style of play gives this team an identity and I bet he's going to figure out how to harmonize our pieces together.

What am I missing here? Was there an actual announcement from the team?

I think they are going off of some CBS report posted in this thread. I would take it with a grain of salt honestly. Until I see news from a reporter that has affiliation with the team, I still think we will be ultra-conservative and bring him back after the All-Star break. Will love to be wrong though.

Yeah... I'm not hanging my hopes on the CBS report. We'll see.

He should be back soon... Probably within a week most likely

CBS Sports also gave the Magic a B- for the Franz Wagner pick (the worst grade in the 1st round besides the Spurs Joshua Primo pick). They know nothing.

8. Orlando Magic (from Chicago): SF Franz Wagner, Michigan

He's very young, so there's a lot of room to develop. He played two years of college basketball, and he was never a top-two player on his own team. People call him a shooter, but he never really made his 3-pointers that well. People love his team defense, but that's an odd thing to hang your hat on as a top-10 pick. He could definitely work out, but this is not what I would have done here. Grade: B-

interesting post in a thread about when Fultz will return

Or slightly sooner so they can do whatever minutes restrictions first and build him into full minutes upon departure. At least thay is what I would do at this point.

I'm pretty confident this is what's happening. We're so close to the deadline that I'm pretty sure they're just going to wait to trade Ross and Harris. They probably don't want to cut into their minutes and ruin their stats before they get moved.
