Philadelphia 76ers: Drew Hanlen mentions Markelle Fultz’s health status

Through 11 games, Markelle Fultz is averaging 9.3 points, 4.1 rebounds and 3.5 assists while shooting 30.8 percent from deep on 1.2 attempts per game. There are clear mechanical issues with his shot, especially from range. It’s improving, but not perfect.

According to a deleted tweet from Drew Hanlen, the reason for Fultz’s rocky start might revolve around his ambiguous health status. After missing 68 games with scapular muscle imbalance in his right shoulder last season, Hanlen remarked that Fultz is “still not healthy.”

Obviously, since the tweet has been deleted, there’s little context to the issue.
