The mysterious alteration of Markelle Fultz' shot mechanics has been one worth of a Scooby Doo night infiltration mission into the Philadelphia 76ers headquarters, as the back and forth between the team and the players have left the most attentive of fans confused as to what holds any truth about his situation.

A report by The Athletic revealed that it was his trainer, Keith Williams, who tinkered with it, hoping to fine-tune his form and solve a major case of the yips at the free-throw line, shooting merely 65 percent during his lone season at the University of Washington.

Contrary to that report, the Sixers believe he developed a hitch over time and his case of the yips is strictly mental, according to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer.

“Sources around the NBA have said people inside the Sixers organization have been telling league colleagues the same thing since October,” wrote Pompey. “However, let’s not forget what led reporters to investigate the obvious poor mechanics and alterations in his foul shooting and jump shots. Once they shut him down in late October, the Sixers speculated in their subsequent media availabilities that someone could have changed Fultz’s shot when he was back home in Maryland in August.”

The Sixers have been wishy-washy at best when it comes to Fultz — and this comes as no surprise, as they have been the Edward E. Nigma of every major injury taking place with their franchise.

Philly has been relatively mute about Ben Simmons and his season-ending foot injury during what was supposed to be his rookie season in 2016-17. Same can be said about Joel Embiid's two years in the shelf, only providing the minimal necessary update about his condition in a month-by-month basis.

As it stands, Fultz is the only person with clarity of what took place, but the team has strictly kept him away from the media, as the Professional Basketball Writers Association has filed a grievance against the Sixers for not allowing their players to fulfill their media obligations.

For anyone that watched Fultz shoot the basketball in college, there was little to no doubt his shooting and pull-up ability would translate into the NBA game, but in a sudden plot twist, his jump shot mechanics have been questioned and gone under the magnifying glass maybe even more than the No. 2 pick Lonzo Ball, who sported a quirky shot dating back to his high school days.

The Sixers remain noncommittal on his return, despite the constant updates. President Bryan Colangelo recently dangled the option that Fultz could remain on the shelf for the remainder of the season.
