The 76ers feel good about Markelle Fultz’s progress from his shoulder injury. Fixing a sagging jump shot appears to be a much bigger obstacle.
Fultz, the No. 1 overall pick in the NBA draft from the University of Washington, has appeared in just four games, the most recent on Oct. 23. Since then, he has been rehabilitating from left shoulder soreness and muscle imbalance and working on his shot.
The shot appears to be the much worse situation.
Fultz recently joined the team in five-on-five scrimmages during practice. The media have not seen these encounters, but, on Sunday after practice, Fultz was seen on a side court, competing against teammate Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, with Brown coaching both players.
