Markelle Fultz Not Ready To Return Wednesday
5 months agoOrlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz (knee) is out for Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. Fultz is on the precipice of a return from left knee tendinitis, after Dan Savage of the team's official site reported that Fultz practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday, but it will have to wait at least one more night. The upstart Magic have gone 13-6 this season without Fultz, who hasn't played since Nov. 9, but they'll hope to finally get the former No. 1 overall pick back in the mix on Thursday for a showdown with the Milwaukee Bucks. Jalen Suggs and the erratic Cole Anthony have gotten comfortable manning Orlando's backcourt with Fultz not around, but the former has been the more dependable fantasy option overall, with averages of 11.6 points, 1.6 three-pointers, and 1.5 steals in 25.2 minutes covering 17 games without Fultz. Anthony is playing only 18.8 minutes per game through his last three nights.
