Markelle Fultz Still Inactive Against 76ers
5 months agoOrlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) will not return to the team's lineup on Wednesday versus the Philadelphia 76ers. Fultz misses out on a "revenge-game" opportunity against the Sixers to make his long-awaited return from lingering tendinitis in his surgically repaired left knee. Fultz was officially ruled out well in advance of Wednesday's tip-off, which doesn't exactly spell optimism that the former No. 1 overall pick's return is imminent. Head coach Jamahl Mosley has generally employed a hot-hand method among Jalen Suggs and sixth man Cole Anthony in Fultz's 25-game absence. Nominal rookie starter Anthony Black achieved career highs in points (23), threes (four), and steals (four) in Tuesday's win over the Washington Wizards, but it came with a career-worst five turnovers. Suggs and Anthony are the preferred fantasy options and should be held onto for however long Fultz remains off the court.
