Markelle Fultz said his shooting problems were due to injury, and just a couple weeks ago, he insisted he was generally healthy.
But something is clearly amiss.
The 76ers guard finally appears to be acknowledging it.
David Aldridge of The Athletic:
At the direction of his attorney, Raymond Brothers, @MarkelleF is scheduled to see a shoulder specialist early next week. Per Brothers, Fultz will not participate in team practices or games until after the the specialist has had a chance to evaluate him.

Should we read into Brothers – usually identified as Fultz’s agent – being referred to as Fultz’s attorney? That sounds ominous.
There has been back-and-forth between Fultz’s and the 76ers about who deserves blame for his struggles.
