The Philadelphia 76ers‘ win over the L.A. Clippers was Markelle Fultz‘s best game of the young NBA season. He tallied 12 points, nine rebounds and five assists, providing an important spark off the bench in the third and fourth quarters.
Early struggles have led many to question Fultz’s present value to the Sixers. He compromises spacing for a team built around a non-shooting point guard and a post-centric big, making for a less-than-perfect marriage.
The game against L.A., however, shifted that narrative. Fultz is still an NBA player, and when he’s aggressively attacking the lane and making plays, his dynamism adds to the Sixers’ offense.
