    Philadelphia 76ers guard Markelle Fultz, the No. 1 pick in the 2017 NBA draft, had fluid drained from his right shoulder earlier this month and is planning to visit a specialist soon, his agent told ESPN on Tuesday.
    "Markelle had a shoulder injury and fluid drained out of the back of his shoulder," agent Raymond Brothers told ESPN. "He literally cannot raise up his arms to shoot the basketball. He decided to try and fight through the pain to help the team. He has a great attitude. We are committed to finding a solution to get Markelle back to 100 percent."

    I was just noting their pictures were on top of each other on the chart saying they're both playing good D.

    Seem to be having problems with the pacers at home. No Butler, but their defense is putrid

    Anyone know why Jimmy Butler isn't playing? Suspension? Injury?

    If you're not careful, Indy can drop 140 on you. Blazers have better defense though.

    To be fair, they also didn't have their best player when we played them.

    They don't have him tonight either. Btw, Porzingis is 1/11. The kids on the Celtics look good.

    Inappropriate humor and off-topic, but a Wesley Matthews in Texas was arrested for disposing of the body of his 3 year old daughter, if I caught the news blurb right.

    Bulls have somehow managed to create problems for Cavs almost everytime they play. I seem to remember them winning 3 out of 4 regular season games (or even all) last year or the year before.

    Starting Justin Holiday and Zipser is pretty tough on Bulls fans.

    Looks like you spoke a little to soon. After 4 games UTA is 29th in the league in scoring at 95.3 ppg. The league average is currently 106.0 ppg. Only the lowly Knicks are worse.

    They are who I to thought they were.

    Bullshit.

    Lonzos overrated, a stat stuffer that doesn't help his team, cringey as fuck, an awful rapper, and a cuck for letting his dad's mouth run his career.

    There's many reasons to dislike Lonzo.
