Warning, don't let the kids watch this. Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz just threw down a nasty hammer on Golden State Warriors forward Omari Spellman's head right at the end of the first half of the match-up on Saturday night.

Don't let Sixers fans watch, as well. Unfortunately, Orlando just recently lost its second straight outing against the Warriors, 109-95. Fultz, however, did put in another solid outing for the Magic with 23 points on 10-of-14 shooting, to go along with six rebounds, four assists, and one steal in 34 minutes.
The Markelle Fultz redemption campaign is in full swing. It's great to finally see the former first overall pick healthy and giving us incredible highlights like the poster dunk he had over Spellman.
This is just one of the myriad of reasons why Fultz became the top prospect of his class in 2017. Unfortunately, a shoulder injury that gave him a weird hitch on his shot derailed the first couple of years of his career. This forced the Philadelphia 76ers to just give up on their 2017 first overall pick by dealing him last season to the Orlando Magic for a player that's not even on an NBA roster this season (Jonathon Simmons) and a couple of draft picks.
Now, finally healthy, Fultz is proving his naysayers wrong. The 21-year-old is thriving as the Magic's lead man at a point and his future is definitely pointing to a bright direction.
Fultz recently turned in arguably the best game of his young career this past week when he led Orlando to a huge 119-118 road win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday, where he notched his second career triple-double with 21 points, 11 rebounds, and 10 assists.
