First of all, why are you posting this old *** article that has zero new reports about anything involving an actual return to the court?
Second of all, please do not ever put this kid and Embiid in the same sentence. Embiid had legitimate injuries then the Sixers held him out longer than he needed to because they were purposely tanking. This kid is a mental case who dead *** just got the yips and surrounded himself with complete idiots and an extremely overprotective mom. The second Embiid got on the floor we saw how amazing he was. The second this kid got on the floor he was shot putting the ball from his shoulder and refusing to talk to the media for a year straight.
We gave him every resource needed for him to succeed. He was joining a 50+ win team with vets that were there for him and young All-Stars that just wanted to see him succeed and became good friends with him. I went to several games that Fultz played in and never once did he even shoot a single jump shot in warmups. Kid legit refused to even shoot whenever the media would be in the gym during PRACTICE.
Dude said he was completely healthy then got benched for TJ one game and his agent shut him down and took him to like 10 different doctors til one gave them the diagnosis they were looking for.
Wow. Strong feelings towards Fultz. You don't think he had/has a legitimate injury?
I know folks with TOS and it can be debilitating. Just lifting your arms overhead is a project. To avoid pain, your body has to compensate and make adjustments to get it done. That would probably explain his altered shot. And the "thoracic outlet" is where the brachial plexus nerve bundle travels through to supply the arm and scapular muscles. So when those nerves get shut down or weakened, they can't supply the corresponding muscles and mechanics get thrown off. Probably why they described it as a "scapular" issue at first.
It's not some phantom injury that was created to appease the Markelle Fultz nay sayers.
