The time is now for the Sixers to part ways with Markelle Fultz

The final chapter in the Sixers' book of Markelle Fultz may have been written on Tuesday after a conversation was held between general manager Elton Brand, and Fultz's agent Raymond Brothers. Essentially, Brothers informed Brand that his client will no longer play or practice until he is evaluated by a specialist for his right shoulder.

The phone call took place exactly a day after Head coach Brett Brown decided to play Fultz in 7-minutes of first half action on Monday in a victory over the Suns. Brown opted to go with the veteran guard TJ McConnell who continues to prove himself and worth to the team time and time again.
