Man, that sucks. He was starting to prove his doubters wrong and now this happens. Poor Markelle

Luckily he signed his big extension so he isn't SOL in terms of his rehab and future

Condolences to Orlando

I've always been pulling for him. Hope it's not that bad...

Be suprised if there isn't ACL damage there. Sucks.

Thats brutal man, he was just turning the corner and starting to realize all that potential. Hope he recovers well and soon.

That Euro step places so much pressure on the knee. I'm surprised we aren't seeing more ACL injuries from Euro steps. Every time I see Giannis do those long-ass Euro steps I cringe a little.

Awful.

Hope he has a speedy recovery with no setbacks.

That's terrible especially since it looks like he was starting to figure out a little bit. The silver lining is that at least he signed that contract before it happened.

That was horrible to watch. Thankfully he got the 50M extension before this, so hopefully he can bounce back once he gets healthy. He really looked like he was turning it around and hopefully this is just a bump on the road to prosperity.

Feel for the Magic fans. First Isaac, now Fultz. That's just brutal.

Damn, feel bad for Magic fans. They were looking pretty good too.

Minimum 1 year recovery to play. 2 years for full confidence... hate to see it, I know the pain. Send this man some healing vibes Realgm.

ACL + meniscus ( almost always gets damaged when you tear your acl)
I had the fortune to tear my acl 3 times...
The strange thing is that the acl tear is not that painful. Because it is just a stabilizer you are usually able to walk carefully right after the injury. The knee is just not stable doing certain movements. On two of my three injuries i was able to walk home without assistance because i didn t damage any other ligaments.

Hope he will recover nicely. He is still young and at his age if his rehab is done correctly he should be able to have no lingering issues after his recovery.

It's aweful. I was surprised when he seemed to turn it all around after Philly.

I can't watch, poor kid man. Dude just can't catch a break. I'm glad he got paid but still... hopefully he can make another comeback.

How many Injury/Out players do they have?

They could look up Timberwolves phone number. They have guards and point guards galore. But they might try to pry Gordon away.

My good god. He was playing really well this season. Prayers and a speedy recovery to him! Sorry Magic fans.

****. Life is a simulation anyways, can't we just turn injuries off?

Sucks, Fultz was one of the players outside of the Heat I was rooting for the most this season. I still think he has potential and I want him to prove the doubters/haters wrong
