Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz, the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA draft who suffered a torn left ACL more than a year ago, will return to action against the Indiana Pacers on Monday, the team said Saturday.
Fultz suffered the injury when his left knee buckled without contact during a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Jan. 6, 2021. He writhed in pain on the floor for several minutes before he was helped into a wheelchair.
He returned to practice in December.
Fultz signed a three-year, $50 million extension in December 2020.
