Report: Sixers Guard Markelle Fultz Returns to Philadelphia to Continue Shoulder Rehab With Team

Sixers guard Markelle Fultz has returned to Philadelphia to continue his shoulder rehab with the team, ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports.

Fultz, 20, has been undergoing therapy for thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve-altering issue, in Los Angeles since leaving the Sixers in early December after he was diagnosed. Wojnarowski added that Philadelphia has had staff in California observing Fultz's progress.

Thoracic outlet syndrome is described as a compression of nerves or blood vessels between the lower neck and upper chest, the team announced. Fultz's injury resulted in abnormal functional movement and range of motion, which affected his shooting form.
