Markelle Fultz, the 2017 No. 1 overall draft pick, played for the first time on Monday night since he was sidelined in early October with a shoulder injury, and was available to the media for the first time since the injury.
There have been multiple differing accounts about what caused his five-month absence, and what exactly has been keeping him away from basketball since the injury was no longer an issue.
Following a 123-104 win over the Nuggets, Fultz was asked for his version of what happened, and the nature of his injury. He chose to either deflect the questions or respond with silence.
