We Finally Have Answers on Markelle Fultz’s Shoulder (That His Camp Wanted to Hear)

I’m going to start by saying I love Markelle Fultz and want him to be a legitimate NBA player. At this point I don’t care for which team that may be. This has been such a weird saga, handled poorly by all involved. Honestly, Kelle is the last one I blame. He’s just a confused kid that doesn’t know who to listen to and probably feels like the ball from the video game Pong.

 

So, as we all know, his agent, Raymond Brothers, who is actually a person and not a family businessman that does roofs or plumbing, advised him not to play until he sees a specialist to figure out what is wrong with him, physically. And it seems like we finally have an “answer”. According to specialist number 10, Kelle has something called, and sit down before reading this because you will be out of breath by the end, Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. Apparently, this causes pressure on the nerves between the shoulder and neck, which would cause pain when shooting.

No word yet on the pressure on his brain caused by being a #1 overall pick and just not playing basketball well.

I’m not saying this isn’t true, what I’m saying is do we even care at this point? They say this is treatable but what happens if he “gets treated” and nothing changes? Mayhem and chaos happens. That’s what. People will lose their minds. Again, I hope it’s a simple treatment that 9 other “specialists” missed and is a quick fix but at this point, I’m not optimistic.

 

They say when you are looking for something it is always in the last place you look. This is because you stop looking when you find what you wanted. So, they FINALLY got confirmation that something is wrong and probably won’t continue looking so, yes, this may be the long-awaited result. But more likely, it is an attempt by Brothers to conserve any stock Kelle has left. Sorry.
