On February 27, Beijing time, NBA Magic defender Markle Fultz announced in his personal media that he would play in the March 1 Magic game against the Pacers. Fultz is full of expectations for this comeback, and the Magic team officially confirmed the news for the first time.
Looking back at Fultz's last game, it goes back to last January, and in January 2021, Fultz's left knee was torn by a torn anterior cruciate ligament, which left him out of the game for a full year. As the winner of the 76 candidates, Fultz can be described as promising when he entered the league, the talent of the guard is extremely explosive, but the injury seems to never be far away from him, five years into the league, Fultz only played 113 games in five seasons. But Fultz didn't disappoint the fans, and in the 2020-2021 season, Fultz was in hot form before the injury, averaging 13 points, 5.4 assists and 3 rebounds per game. Just when everyone thought that Fultz was going to cash in on his talent, he was seriously injured.
Although Fultz will return on March 1, the Magic have basically decided not to make the playoffs this season, and the next game is at most to find a feel for Fultz. The Magic team is now very much looking forward to Fultz can find the state of the game as much as possible in the few regular seasons, in addition to the technical level, the most important thing is to adapt Fultz's body to the game, originally after Fultz transferred to the Magic, he had appeared in 72 games a season, the Magic team also used Fultz as the cornerstone of the team's reconstruction to cultivate, and now Fultz can return to the field, he is still the magic team's hope for next season. According to the current situation, Fultz can't get rid of the title of Glassman, but in 2020, the Magic gave Fultz a 3-year, 50 million contract in view of Fultz's attendance and scoring more than ten points per game. So the magic can only expect Fultz to get back to the state as soon as possible, otherwise 40 million of these 50 million will have to be adrift.
In fact, as a champion guard, Fultz's performance in the previous seasons can not be said to be good but not bad, he averaged 25 minutes per game in a healthy season, averaging 10.9 points, 3.3 rebounds, 4.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Not outstanding but still comprehensive. As Fultz said in the interview: "I feel lucky to be back on the field after such a serious injury and thank you for all that I have been through. Fultz's words are mature, as a champion he was the son of the chosen, but countless injuries prevented the Eagles from spreading their wings, fortunately, the young defender was not defeated by injuries, never bowed his head and was always enthusiastic about the game, Fultz is still worthy of every fan's expectations.
