76ers: G Markelle Fultz "looked good" but "isn't whole right now"

BOSTON -- Sixers coach Brett Brown said that top overall pick Markelle Fultz had his "best day" in practice on Wednesday, but he and the team remain noncommittal on when the rookie guard will return to game action.

"We're hopeful and optimistic than Markelle will be on the floor soon and impacting our team in a positive way," Sixers general manager Bryan Colangelo told ESPN on Friday. "But we will be patient so that we put him in the best possible position to be successful."

Brown said that Fultz still "isn't whole right now," but that he's making steady improvement.
