Markelle Fultz disputes trainer Drew Hanlen’s tweet saying he isn’t healthy

The Sixers just can't seem to catch a break when it comes to Twitter. On Monday morning Markelle Fultz's trainer, Drew Hanlen, responded to another NBA trainer with a since-deleted tweet that caused a stir. Following practice on Tuesday in Camden, Brett Brown and Fultz did their best to walk back Hanlen's assertion that Fultz still isn't healthy.

"He's been playing basketball and doing well, he's fine," Brown said of Fultz. "Nobody is 100 percent healthy, but he's healthy enough to play basketball like JJ [Redick] is and Joel [Embiid] is."

When Fultz was asked if he was healthy he didn't hesitate in agreeing with his coach and said his shoulder feels great.
