Sixers rookie Markelle Fultz will miss at least three games with shoulder soreness and will be reevaluated next Tuesday, the team announced on Wednesday. Fultz will be out when Philadelphia hosts Houston on Wednesday night then plays at Dallas on Saturday and at Houston on Monday.
Fultz, who was the first pick in this year's draft, hasn't looked healthy at any point during the young season. On Tuesday, Fultz's agent Raymond Brothers said the rookie has been struggling with the shoulder injury for weeks.
“Markelle had a shoulder injury and fluid drained out of the back of his shoulder,” Fultz’s agent, Raymond Brothers, told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
