Why is 76ers guard Markelle Fultz’s shot so screwed up?
Did he suffer an injury? Did he change his mechanics? Does he have the yips? Some combination?
Another theory presented by Brandon Robinson: Fultz got into a motorcycle crash last year.
Fultz’s agent, Raymond Brothers, via Kyle Neubeck of PhillyVoice:
“Markelle and the motorcycle, I saw the article that was sent, 100 percent not true,” said Brothers. “Quote me on that.”
The Collective Bargaining Agreement prohibits players from riding on motorcycles, though this theoretically could have been before Fultz signed his contract with Philadelphia. So, if this is true, there could be even more complications.
But Robinson’s report is too far-fetched to believe. Without more evidence, I’m not buying it.
