The Magic said they had no idea when Markelle Fultz would play for them.
Caron Butler – whose agent as a player was Raymond Brothers, who also represents Fultz – offered a more encouraging prognosis.

The guy that no one’s talking about, who’s healthy, who’s working his tale off right now all summer long: Markelle Fultz.
Presumably, Butler’s agent connection gave him first- or at least second-hand insight into Fultz’s progress.
But Brothers also said Fultz would return last season, and the guard never did. At this point, I need to see it to believe it. The word from his agent’s camp isn’t enough.
Fultz’s issues run so deep. Hopefully, he’s healthy and flourishing in workouts. There’s still a gap between that and producing in the spotlight of NBA games.
