On December 4th, the Philadelphia 76ers issued a press release stating that Markelle Fultz was identified as having Thoracic outlet syndrome, and that he would begin physical therapy immediately and is out indefinitely. Following that announcement, Shams Charania of The Athletic tweeted out that Fultz would be working through his physical therapy with Dr. Judy Seto, who is most famous in NBA circles for being Kobe Bryant’s “secret weapon”.
Describing anyone using the terms “Kobe Bryant” and “secret weapon” sounds dirty, I know. But Dr. Seto can wear the descriptor as a badge of honor: she earned the reputation thanks to her expertise in physical therapy.
