On Sunday, the Magic announced that Markelle Fultz fractured his toe during a preseason workout and he’s now in a walking boot. He won’t need surgery, but his timetable for return to physical activity depends on how he responds to rehabilitation.
Fultz has endured a tumultuous start to his career. He was drafted with the No. 1 pick by the 76ers in 2017, but he’s struggled to live up to the hype. He began to struggle with shooting the ball while in Philadelphia, and it was debated whether Fultz’s woes were mental or physical.
