Today's Magic player Markle Fultz posted a picture of himself training at the Magic Arena in Ins. Next season we can finally see Fultz back on the field.
On January 7, 2021, not long after the start of the game against the Cavaliers, Fultz suffered a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed for the season. It really made the fans sigh, why does fate have to play tricks on him every time. Before this game, Fultz made 7 appearances and averaged 14.3 points and 6.1 assists per game, all career highs.
And in the 19-20 season, Fultz played 72 games for the Magic, averaging 27.7 minutes per game, capable of 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 1.25 steals, 46.5%, 26.7% three-pointers, 73% free throws; 5 playoff games, 29.4 minutes, 12.0 points, 5.2 assists, 1.0 steals, 37.5% three-pointers. Of the two seasons for the 76ers, 8.2 points in 19 games in the 18-19 season and 7.1 points in 14 games in the 17-18 season. The numbers have risen year after year, with more games played in the 19-20 season than the rest combined.
Among them, on January 16, 2020, facing the Lakers who have won nine consecutive games, Fultz became the hero of the team, playing a triple-double performance of 21 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in 33 minutes, leading the Magic to beat the Lakers 119-118. The away performance was very explosive, showing his talent, and this game became the epitome of his season. It is also because of his wonderful performance this season that the Magic and Fultz reached a three-year, $50 million early contract extension. Originally, people expected his performance, but I didn't expect the injury to joke with him again.
In 2017, he was selected by the 76ers to enter the NBA as a draft pick. On April 12, 2018, Fultz played 25 minutes off the bench and had 13 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. Becoming the youngest triple-double winner (at the time alone) was full of talent and drove a lot of fans crazy. However, Fultz was subsequently diagnosed with "Epsiosis" and "Neurothoracic Exit Syndrome (TOS)" body damage. Simply put, it will affect muscle memory and affect projection ability, which is too deadly for a player, which is why his shooting action is "weird". Eventually, the 76ers gave up Fultz and traded him to the Magic.
Therefore, we must not lament the unfairness of fate to Fultz, but he did not give up, face it positively, and play a good performance. I believe that in the new season, the king has returned, he has been reborn, and his performance is getting better and better!
