The Orlando Magic made a splashy move at the trade deadline acquiring former first overall pick Markelle Fultz from the Philadelphia 76ers.
To them, it was the ultimate reclamation project. A player with immense talent who had struggled with injury in an environment that expected too much of him. His injury and the misdiagnosis of it only added to the problems.
The Magic promised him patience and a new beginning.
When Markelle Fultz arrived in Orlando he expressed his excitement for the new opportunity and his eagerness to get back onto the court.
