Following yesterday's set of contradictory reports from his agent, Markelle Fultz will sit out tonight's game and the following two outings with shoulder soreness. He'll reportedly be re-evaluated following the third absence. Receiving a cortisone shot to reduce inflammation prior to the regular season, Fultz noticeably looked rather uncomfortable attempting jump shots. He even deferred on wide-open looks for easier jumpers or to attack the basket.
His free throw motion rivaled Shaquille O'Neal's, in terms of vileness. Yes, the notoriously cringe-y form. With rampant speculation regarding whether management foisted a new motion on him or he chose to revamp it, additionally to Fultz's mentality preventing him from shooting, Bryan Colangelo mentioned today that Fultz decided to change it.
