Fultz out indefinitely...

[Fan from VT]

What in the world is scapular muscle imbalance? I've heard of (and had) muscle imbalances with the hip adductors/abductors before (pretty painful), but I've never heard of it in the shoulder area.

impingement.....rotator cuff is pinched

Sounds like "S.I.C.K. Scapula."

this is too bad.  He is just a young kid.  I was looking forward to see if he was any good.

Sounds like his his scapula and surrounding shoulder joint may be pulled out of position due to abnormal muscle tightness or injury. My buddy use to do all bench (pecs) and no back (traps, rhomboids, etc) so he developed ligament and rotator cuff issues.

I'm not sure what caused Fultz's imbalance. Too bad for the kid. Hope he doesn't miss too many games.

What in the world is scapular muscle imbalance?

It's a tension-related injury, also associated with crippling anxiety and a complete erosion of confidence, brought on by the dawning realization you've been drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers instead of the Boston Celtics.

Get well, kid! It doesn't matter that as soon as we picked Tatum I wanted him to destroy you and the NBA, I wouldn't wish this on any player. I can't wait until our young guys get to bust the heads of Philly's every season from here, I would love to see a real rivalry!

Only a matter of time for them to also  pull embiid and Simmons with fake injuries to cement the tank. Absolute joke of a franchise.

Thankfully the Sixers didn't have the chance to ruin Tatum. I really want to see him become a superstar.

Ainge did indeed dodge the proverbial bullet.

I believe the reason he passed on Fultz was makeup and team fit rather than health.

But one has to think that Fultz might have been hiding his physical issues.  Otherwise there is no way he could have gone #1 overall.

Didn't the Sixers have him in for a medical before announcing his name on draft day??

China dolls are more durable and look better

I think Ainge had some questions about his shot. He did make a wry comment about Fultz shooting while being guarded by a chair. Seemed pretty off at the time but then reports came out about Fultz having a bad shooting tryout in Boston and Philly.

'China' is not really a material though, it's just a colloquial term for porcelain.

Sixers curse is officially real lol

Danny dodged a bullet with /dunn/bender even Ingram last year

Now dodging the Fultz and ball bullets

Did Ingram get injured last year? it's still up for debate Ingram vs Brown, Ingram is playing well (I still prefer Brown).

Ball has been solid this season, His scoring still needs to be worked on, but his other games has been solid. His dad is nutcase but that's another pboelm

ingram isn't injured . He plays like a bust. Backup potential maybe but he can't drive, can't shoot, can't be aggressive. Doesn't do much

All Brandon does is drive and does it well that's the strength of his game.
