According to the announcement, Fultz has been placed in a walking booth but won’t require surgery. He will be re-evaluated at a later point, and his return will depend on the progress of his rehabilitation. The Magic also revealed that the 2017’s first overall pick suffered the fracture while taking part in the preseason workout.

According to Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel, Fultz will miss the training camp while recovering from the injury. It won’t be surprising if he misses part of the regular season as well. The 24-year-old is entering the second year of his three-year, $50 million contract with the franchise.

The injuries have been the story of Markelle Fultz’s NBA career so far. After being the no.1 pick by the Philadelphia 76ers in 2017, Fultz struggled with a shoulder injury that severely affected his ability to shoot the ball throughout his first two seasons as a pro. He managed to play only 29 games for the 76ers before being traded to Magic.

Fultz showed promise in his first season with the Magic, averaging 12.1 points and 5.1 assists while playing 72 games in 2019-20. The Washington Huskies product also had an encouraging start to the 2020-21 campaign before tearing his ACL.

Fultz returned from the ACL injury in the second part of the 2021-22 season, appearing in 18 games and averaging 10.8 points per game.

The injury occurred just five minutes into the game. Fultz was driving to the basket and was cut off by Cleveland’s Isaac Okoro, after which his left knee buckled without having any contact with Okoro. Fultz spent several minutes on the floor in very visible pain after which the training staff brought a wheelchair out to help take him to the locker room.

Fultz was picked first overall in the 2017 draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. He then struggled for several years in Philadelphia because of a shoulder ailment that was very hard to diagnose and treat. It was determined to be thoracic outlet syndrome, a nerve issue that diminishes feeling in your arm and hand.

Fultz was later traded to Orlando in 2019 where he began to finally achieve the potential that many saw in him when he was drafted.

He just recently signed a three-year extension with the Magic worth $50 million. Orlando was off to a great start this season, boasting one of the best records in the league.

Fultz came into Wednesday’s game with the Cavs averaging a career-best 14.2 points. He was also averaging 6.1 assists and 3.6 rebounds over the first seven games of the season.

Fultz hasn’t played in the NBA since November, being diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome which severely affected his ability to shoot the basketball. Although there were reports that he is making progress in rehab, even the Magic organization doesn’t know when he could be ready to play again.

Orlando’s coach Steve Clifford made an appearance on SiriusXM show “NBA Today” earlier this week and was asked about Fultz’s return. Clifford acknowledged the player’s progress but admitted that they “don’t have a timetable” for his return just yet.

“He’s been great. He’s working hard. He’s made good progress.” – said Clifford. “You know, we don’t have a timetable for when he’ll be back, but he’s really doing a good job.”

Former NBA player and current analyst Caron Butler recently also confirmed that Fultz is doing a good job this summer.

“The guy that no one’s talking about, who’s healthy, who’s worked his tail off right now all summer long is Markelle Fultz. I think he’s going to be a huge addition to this ball club.” – said Butler during NBA Summer League broadcast.

Although he was supposed to be one of Philadelphia 76ers franchise cornerstones, Markelle Fultz never managed to justify the high expectations in the pros. Since entering the league, he struggled with injuries and shooting, which eventually prompted 76ers to sit him out for the better part of the past two seasons.

Fultz only played 33 games in the NBA so far, averaging 7.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game.
