ORLANDO, Fla. — Markelle Fultz’s return during the Orlando Magic’s 119-103 Monday home win over the Indiana Pacers not only provided him with the chance to step back on the floor for the first time in over a year, it also helped the team’s outlook become clearer.
Fultz’s comeback from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee that he sustained on Jan. 6, 2021 gave the former No. 1 pick the opportunity to play with teammates he hadn’t been on the floor with before Monday because he was sidelined.
Those teammates include Gary Harris, Wendell Carter Jr., Franz Wagner, Jalen Suggs and R.J. Hampton — all of whom joined the team after Fultz’s injury.
