NBA: Sixers: Fultz is missing several games

The Philadelphia 76ers have to give up several games on No. 1-Pick Markelle Fultz. He’s suffering from a shoulder injury.

This was announced by the franchise in a statement. He will therefore be missing the next three games.

The shoulder injury is meanwhile curious. Fultz has been complaining for a long time about pain, which according to his agent should be so bad that he could hardly lift his arm. For this reason Fultz is said to have changed his throwing mechanism.

Why Fultz was allowed to play in spite of the pain is not known and provokes criticism. Now, at any rate, he is to be taken out of the game and visit a shoulder specialist in real time. Further updates are expected thereafter.

In the four games of the season so far, Fultz, coming from the bank, scored 6 points and 1.8 assists.
