Fultz injury is between his ears. He hoops like he has CTE

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Whether he's injured or not, which he very well could be, putting an extended hitch in your form isn't going to minimize the pain. It would do the opposite

 

[Lovetohate3000]

Yes I was asking if anyone noticed in the other games that I didn't watch if he displayed signs of pain

I am trying to go off actual evidence instead of solely a changed shooting form

this is reasonable.. making up theories as to why he changed his shot is just guessing and making things up. proof is needed

So...the change wouldn't be evidence....but the facial expressions would huh?

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Again adding a hitch to your shot would make it more painful

If you see him in pain then, yeah, you can assume he's hurt. How difficult is that to comprehend

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I’m glad to see that Bucks have finally found how to execute and win games. That was their biggest challenges last season.

They’re trusting each other down the stretch.

Wolves too apparently

Freeze has no chill on dem rooks

IDK how you could make that assumption

What

 

[ballinsam23]

The last thing I'd ever do if my shoulder was hurting is change my immaculate form. That's decades of muscle memory.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

It's more herk and jerk

Seems like you'd want one smooth motion

Kanye shrug

Yeah but he could be trying to avoid the pain spot by moving awkwardly "around it" instead of using his natural fluid motion.

exactly.
yes, he's a pro but that's not something i'd fool with

 

[Fozz]

He shouldn't even be playing if that's the case.

Yup, that's true.

 

[JD617]

I refuse to believe he’s healthy and just suddenly decided to start shooting like Shaq out of the blue. I’ve never seen anything like this. It’s bizarre. Like I said before the season started, the Sixers need to sit him down until he’s healthy before he can screw up his development any further.

 

[notoriousmj23]

you'd think sixers would learn their lesson from their last few rookies and just sit da boul

 

[goldmember]

But, as a rookie...is changing the shooting form better intervention than resting and treatment?

C'mon guys

 

[notoriousmj23]

if he is truly hurt, hurt to the point when he isn't shooting mid range and further; him playing isn't even helping him. hang it up. don't wanna hurt himself further.

 

[P C H]

IMO,

The 76ers see what we're seeing. They see him changing his form and they out of all people would know if Fultz has a shoulder issue. So with that being said, the fact that they are letting him play despite the fact that his shot form has clearly changed leads me to believe that of all of Fultz current issues, a hurt shoulder isn't one of them.

76ers are not jeopardizing their #1 overall pick. If he was hurt they would know more than anyone, and would act accordingly.

i wanna say the same too but like stated above; they have a history of mismanagement of player injuries.

 

[shotsrangout]

Holy **** I didn’t even realize Giannis was averaging 36.8 ppg

My god

Yup. And possible they didn't think it was this bad (he's looked fine in everything else). The right decision would be to sit him now, since there's been a few games to see what's up.

 

[100027]

Holy **** I didn’t even realize Giannis was averaging 36.8 ppg

My god

Plus 11 boards and 5 assists on 66% shooting

It's early to talk about averages though

 

[P C H]

New arena but having these kinds of issues

 

[HIM]

As hard as I find it to believe that Fultz would just up and change his shot out of nowhere...


I find it much harder to believe that he’s hurt and the 76ers of all teams haven’t done their due diligence to figure it out. This is a team who have had their 1st round pick miss their rookie season on 3 separate occasions. We can see he’s hurt but they can’t?


I hope it’s an injury. That would be an easier to fix than the Yipps.

 

[Based Jesus]

Yeah no way in hell that's sustainable Kristaps is averaging 32 right now and I have serious doubts he'll keep it up.
