LONDON – For 10 weeks, Markelle Fultz was basically the forgotten 76er. It was a period when he was commuting to the University of Kentucky for observation. The rare times Fultz was in a competitive setting with teammates came when he sat on the bench in street clothes cheering them on during games.
But now the biggest question surrounding the Sixers is: When will the first overall pick in June’s NBA draft return to game action?
Fultz will miss his 35th consecutive game when the Sixers (19-19) “host” the Boston Celtics on Thursday afternoon at The 02 Arena here.
