He better sure up his nutrition so he doesn't put on a bunch of weight while he's recovering.

High ankle sprains can be 8 weeks to 6 months recovery time. I'd say it's cause for some major disappointment, although maybe not full-blown freaking out. This string of bad luck with high draft picks' health just plain sucks.

It's not going to be 6 months. Come on. He will be back by training camp. People are overreacting over an ankle sprain.

I had a grade 3 high ankle sprain - complete ligament tear that required surgery. I didn't start playing again for 7 months. Just saying

Then again, I'm not a professional athlete.

Unless an MRI reveals something more severe this isn't happening. If it's just a high ankle sprain there is no reason for any crazy talk like this. I don't get the uproar over this.

This Doctor is adamant that he can tell from video that it is a low ankle strain and not a high ankle strain as the 76ers reported.

Lets hope he is right and he has been misdiagnosed.

Can't believe I have to sit through 2 months of injury updates again.

Just gonna give him some time to focus on his free-throw shooting. Everything is fine.

I think it's high because Fultz was holding his anke up high and it low but we will soon find out.

Well 100% by camp is great to hear.. might mean its not a high ankle sprain esp if this Dr is saying so.. it did not look like a high ankle sprain to me either

As long as he is back for camp he can get in shape at training camp and maybe a few extra min in preseason to get him rdy for game 1.

Seems we should be fine for once

I don't believe the internet timelines anymore. I've seen this with Okafor and Simmons already. I'll believe he's ready to play when he's on the court practicing 5 on 5 with the team.

Was about to say that.

I will nominate that doctor for the Nobel Prize.
