Magic fans got a bit of bad news, as head coach Steve Clifford has just announced that he doesn't expect Markelle Fultz to come back for the rest of the season.

This is just the latest in a series of setbacks that Fultz has seen over the course of his career. While Fultz was the No. 1 overall pick in 2017, he was traded from the Philadelphia 76ers to the Magic at the deadline.

FanSided has more information about the Fultz situation, which hasn't gone the way he thought it would.

“Once there, head coach Steve Clifford can better assess his skill-set and determine the role most suitable for his newest point guard. The smart plan would be to let Fultz loose and allow him to play and develop through his mistakes, similar to the route the Atlanta Hawks are taking with their franchise floor general in Trae Young. The only issue with the scenario is that despite their relative lack of talent, Orlando is trying to qualify for the playoffs this season, currently residing in the eighth spot in the conference.”

It should be interesting to see when Fultz eventually plays for the Magic, given the way his career has gone thus far.
