Philadelphia 76ers second-year combo guard Markelle Fultz will be re-evaluated next week for his thoracic outlet syndrome condition, according to Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

Markelle Fultz has been away from the Sixers since Nov. 21. He was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome and has been rehabbing the injury in Los Angeles under the watchful eye of his agent and attorney, Raymond Brothers.

Fultz did join the Sixers in Boston when Philly took on the Celtics on Christmas Day.

Markelle Fultz was averaging 8.2 points, 3.7 rebounds and 3.1 assists per game in 19 games before he was shut down. The 20-year-old and No. 1 overall pick from the 2017 NBA Draft was shooting 41.9 percent from the field, 28.6 percent from beyond the arc and 56.8 percent from the free-throw line.

Fultz expects to play again this season, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN. Whether that is in a Sixers uniform is still up for debate.

There have been rumors that Philly wants to trade Markelle Fultz, but it's very doubtful he has any trade value in the league right now considering his first two seasons in the NBA have been a disaster. The best course of action for the Sixers may be to put him out on the floor, see if he can play well, and then trade him when he has at least some type of value attached to him.
