Even as the Sixers have won six straight games and are on the path to their first playoff bid since 2012, a rookie who hasn't played in a game since October has been the one dominating the headlines.
That would be Markelle Fultz, the No. 1 overall pick who has had a difficult time rediscovering his shot form that made him a highly-touted prospect coming out of Washington.
The latest report about Fultz has nothing to do with his shot. This one's about money.
According to a Yahoo Sports report released on Friday, Fultz is one of several players that accepted money bribes either before or during college from a sports agency currently being investigated as part of a bribery scandal that has overtaken the NCAA.
