Markelle Fultz Remains Unsigned As He Continues To Deal With Injury Issues 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Wed Nov 27, 2024 4:10 am

Markelle Fultz remains a free agent despite being part of the Orlando Magic rotation last season and appearing in all seven of their playoff games against the Cleveland Cavaliers. Fultz, however, remains unsigned because he continues to deal with injury issues.


Leading to the playoffs, Fultz revealed that he still had small fractures in his left knee. Fultz previously tore the ACL in his left knee.




"I was told today that he's dealing with injury stuff and that's what has prevented him from being signed," reported Jake Fischer during his Tuesday evening chat alongside Marc Stein.

 

In 43 games last season with the Magic, Fultz averaged 7.8 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 21.2 minutes. Fultz is represented by Raymond Brothers

Tatum? or Embiid/Simmons/Fultz/Harden/George/Doc?

Mikal Bridges should also be on the left side of this equation

Yep, they got cute and traded hometown boy Mikal Bridges, who's mom worked for the organization, for Ziare Smith and the pick that became Jaden Springer. What a great move!
Go Knicks!

Go Magic, we miss you, Fultz! Hope you can get your body issues sorted and get back to it for 2025-26!
