Report: Sixers’ Markelle Fultz to miss time, see specialist for shoulder

The 76ers' 2017 No. 1 overall draft pick will reportedly see a shoulder specialist early next week and will not take part in team practices or games until he has been evaluated, The Athletic's David Aldridge reported.

Fultz will be seeing the specialist at the direction of Raymond Brothers, his attorney.

Less than 24 hours before this news, Sixers coach Brett Brown sounded more unsure than he ever has about Fultz.

In Monday's 119-114 win over the Phoenix Suns, Brown played T.J. McConnell instead of Fultz throughout the second half. When asked after the game if he would continue playing McConnell as the backup point guard, Brown was noncommittal.
