Magic vs. Pacers preview: The Markelle Fultz comeback story continues
Markelle Fultz is back.
Taking the court for the first time in, well … a long time, the young point guard’s return to play from serious injury was a major feel-good moment in a Magic season that has so far been relatively short on them.
The boxscore contributions alone make for positive reading. 10 points on an efficient 5-7 shooting, with 6 assists and just a single turnover fleshing out the playmaking aspects of his game. He was noticeably zippy in his 16 minutes of action, the team holding its own during his time on the court as he finished with a plus/minus of +1, tied for the second best mark on the night among Orlando’s reserves.
