At this point Fultz and Isaac are losing valuable court time.
I don't expect either of them to look like his pre injury self this season, it probably takes a while to return to form and get over the mental aspect of the injury, but if they barely play this year it will carry over to next year as well, not to mention they are both very young and inexperienced and could use these games to get better.
When is Fultz returning?

Management knows this year is a wash. Expect, Isaac (and probably Fultz as well) to play after the AllStar break. By then, we would have lost enough games to get a lottery pick, and still play competitively with a full roster. Thus, giving us enough data to decide on the direction we want to go in the draft, and the following season.

Agreed but like I mentioned earlier, I wonder if they're trying to trade a few assets first. Especially when it comes to Fultz. Where is Fultz getting minutes if we still have Cole/Suggs/Harris/Ross/RJ (is he gone for a while with last games injury?)? Sure, we could just bench Ross and/or Harris but you definitely lose trading value if you do that. Tough spot for Weltman and Hammond... but they've put themselves here. I hope we see a trade or two soon and start getting guys back out there.

It should be any day now..... Almost a month or more he's been practicing either with Lakeland or the main squad...... His conditioning isn't good enough yet to play limited minutes?

Again, who's minutes is he taking? Now that RJ is out, maybe he can take those and ease him back in.
Hell, maybe he plays tonight after RJ's injury.
