According to Dr. Jason Lee, professor of vascular surgery at Stanford University Medical Center, basketball players are not among those athletes commonly affected. In his more than 15 years of specializing in caring for TOS patients, Lee has treated collegiate to professional athletes with TOS hailing from a wide range of sports, including swimming, diving, water polo, rowing, volleyball, tennis, lacrosse, football, softball and, of course, baseball.

But never a basketball player.

TOS is more prevalent among MLB players, especially pitchers. Matt Harvey was an All-Star pitcher in 2013 who suffered from TOS seasons later. He opted for season-ending surgery in July 2016 and had a rib removed to alleviate pressure on his nerve. “My shoulder’s dead, my arm’s dead, and there’s no energy there, I couldn’t feel the ball,” he told reporters then.

Former Knicks and Raptors wing Landry Fields had a similar and unfortunate situation, injuring the ulnar nerve in his shooting elbow. His career ended shortly after. Fields described his inability to shoot the basketball in an interview with local Toronto media. His issues sound a lot like those Fultz appears to be struggling with:

his career pretty much ended with similar injury that Markell is struggling now.
