Magic guard Markelle Fultz announced he is making his 2021–22 season debut after not playing in an NBA a game for more than a year.
Fultz will officially return to Orlando's starting lineup when the Magic face the Pacers on Monday. The former No. 1 overall pick in 2017 told the team's Orlando Magic Pod Squad that he was “blessed to be able to return to the court after overcoming the injury he went through.
“I’m just blessed just to be able to, one, be where I am after going through an injury like this and being able to fight and just be back on the court with my brothers and friends,” Fultz said.
