Markelle Fultz, once the top pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, is embarking on a new chapter with the Toronto Raptors. After spending time with the Raptors 905 G League team, Fultz has secured a 10-day contract with the Raptors, marking his fourth NBA team.
Fultz hasn't seen NBA action this season, with his last appearance being with the Sacramento Kings, where he played 21 games. Prior to that, he spent five seasons with the Orlando Magic.
Drafted first overall by the Philadelphia 76ers, Fultz's journey has been anything but smooth. The Washington product was expected to be a franchise cornerstone, but an unexpected shooting struggle derailed his rookie season. This issue turned him into a shadow of the player scouts once raved about.
His stint with the Sixers was short-lived, featuring just 33 games before being traded to Orlando. Now, nearly a decade into his career, Fultz is aiming to reignite his path in Toronto, hoping to make a lasting impact with the Raptors.
