ORLANDO - It’s just simply in Markelle Fultz’s nature to assist.
On the court, he’s always looking for his teammates, which is why since returning to the lineup he has the NBA’s second-best per-36-minute assist average.
Off it, he has the same exact mindset. Ever since joining the Orlando Magic in Feb. 2019, Fultz has gone above and beyond to assist others in Central Florida, as well as in the Washington metropolitan area where he grew up.
Some players while going through a lengthy rehab after a severe injury would have disappeared. Not Fultz, who despite being unable to play for nearly 14 months was more visible than ever in the community.
