From ESPN:
Sixers coach Brett Brown and general manager Elton Brand said they weren't aware of any issues with Fultz prior to Brand receiving a call from Brothers on Tuesday morning, saying that the 20-year-old guard would not be playing until at least next week.
"There's nothing we saw medically that didn't allow him to play," Brand told reporters after the team practiced at its Camden, New Jersey, facility Tuesday afternoon. "He played last night. He played two days ago.
"Ever since Jimmy Butler came [last week] and [Fultz] wasn't starting, I thought he played pretty well. I was proud of him the way he bounced back from a lot of things."
Brand also seemed bemused as to why Fultz couldn't have an appointment take place sometime before next week.
"I don't know how long he's going to be out," Brand said. "I know Monday is the consultation. I asked, 'Why Monday?' He said, 'It was the best day they could get an appointment.'
So is this Sixers dysfunction or Fultz team dysfunction or a combination?
Either way, I'm curious what Ainge and the Celtics saw that convinced them to skip Fultz in the draft that apparently nobody else saw.
they did interviews with his teachers and guidance counselors to learn more about Fultz mentality. Also fultz Had a bad workout with us
it was more than just that
Yeah, it was definitely more than the workout. Like, what did they find out about him when they spoke to his teachers and old coaches, etc?
