Even with their recent success, the Philadelphia 76ers would benefit from another shot creator who can generate halfcourt offense. That’s what Markelle Fultz is, and it seems like the most recent No. 1 pick is getting closer to his return.
Fultz participated in five-on-five practice with full contact Wednesday afternoon, a major milestone in what has been a grueling rehab process. The 19-year-old still doesn’t have a return date, but all indications point to him playing in the foreseeable future.
As for what we should expect once Fultz gets back, try to keep your expectations to a minimum.
