So, 4-6 weeks to recover which means he'll miss our first 4-10 games.

I don't know how long it takes to get into game shape. If it's 2 weeks, he'll end up missing 10-20 games.

Cole Anthony...you're up. Some national media has him pencilled in as starting PG anyway (which I dismiss as lazy reporting based on PPG). I hope he can control himself and improve his decision-making or he'll Westbrook our frontcourt stars right out of the game plan.

I’m sure this will be the first of many.

If we aren’t down three starters by the end of training camp I’ll consider it a small miracle.

It's official, the Magic are secretly tanking!

Fultz is our best player to initiate offense, so this makes some sense.

I mean come on right before training camp starts and he fractures his toe, really?

This moves allows Franz Wagner to be put in a position to be a primary ball handler like he was in summer games.

Also, didn't Fultz say #4 on his social media account? What a coincidence!

Don't be surprised if other key player develop a out of the blue injury to avoid being competitive to win games, first Harris and now Fultz.

Oh btw, Jonathan Isaac will not suit up early in the season either!

Put the ball in Franz' hands...if the season ended at Christmas, he was ROY, IMO. Only when the full tank emerged, was Cole dominating the ball and relegating Franz to a less decisive role. I don't mind Cole starting but he's got to be more of an off-ball guy.

Sorry about Fultz, but this could be the impetus for a really creative offensive scheme with our two point forwards and two combo guards bringing offense from unconventional directions...I hope we have an revolutionary/aggressive offensive mind in the lab with Mosley right now.

I hate it when players injure themselves over some BS.

Really sucks. I have high hopes for Fultz this season.

I just don't want to see RJ Hampton play PG.

Really disappointing and frustrating to go into another camp with injuries. I doubt he starts the season. Our back court depth is already looking light. It's a big opportunity for Anthony and Suggs to step up.

Welp Cole/ Suggs backcourt is up. Let Paolo handle the ball and be the initiator. Not ideal but could be a blessing in disguise.

Maybe saying over and over again "There is no way our injury luck will be as bad as last season" wasn't such a good idea...

Well at least he doesn't need surgery. Silver lining. Hopefully he's back within a month.

I thought I read Franz for a second. Whew.

This solves our guard rotation problem to start the season at least.
