Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz, who has been hampered by discomfort in his right shoulder, will miss the next three games, the team announced Wednesday.
Agent Raymond Brothers told ESPN on Tuesday that Fultz "literally cannot raise up his arms to shoot the basketball" because of the discomfort. He also told ESPN that the former No. 1 overall pick had a cortisone shot on Oct. 5.
The Sixers issued a release Wednesday saying Fultz will not play in Wednesday's home game against the Houston Rockets, as well as road games against the Dallas Mavericks (Saturday) and Rockets (Monday).
