The Philadelphia 76ers announced that rookie point guard Markelle Fultz is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury and will be reevaluated in three weeks.
The 76ers said that Fultz does not have any structural damage in his ailing right shoulder, but is dealing with "soreness and scapular muscle imbalance."
Fultz, the No. 1 overall pick in June's draft, had a cortisone shot in his shoulder on Oct. 5, according to his agent, and hasn't played since Oct. 23.
The 19-year-old has played in just four NBA games and has resisted jump shots while relying almost exclusively on drives to the basket.
