Fultz Excited to Have Fresh Start With Magic

ORLANDO – Not long after learning he had been traded to the Orlando Magic and getting the fresh start in the NBA that he craved, Markelle Fultz received a picture from his mother that not only brought back a flood of memories, but it also brought on a revelation.

The picture was of a young Fultz wearing a Magic basketball jersey. Years back, Ebony Fultz said she bought her son a few kids’ jerseys of the teams that she liked at the time, so actually there was no significant meaning to Markelle owning Orlando gear.

To Markelle, however, the image meant much more, especially after the way he had struggled to find his footing in the NBA over the first 1½ years of his career.
