Imagine dreaming the impossible dream for as long as you could remember. Then, on the precipice of realizing that dream, youre thrust back down the mountain of hope into despair.
Thats what Philadelphia 76ers lottery pick Markelle Fultz situation must be feeling right now. Of course, in professional sports, its frowned upon to admit pain, whether physical, mental or emotional, but Fultz cant front. I know the face of disappointment, and it is his.
According to GM Bryan Colangelo, Fultz might miss the entire season, or he could suit up tomorrow. Yeah, it dont get much more vague than that.

Colangelo says Fultz has been retooling his shot after seeking treatment for scapular muscle imbalance in his right shoulder.
