MARKELLE FULTZ NEWS

Highly efficient in victory Fultz finished Tuesday's 109-106 victory over Portland with 18 points (7-8 FG, 4-4 FT), seven assists, three rebounds and one steal across 37 minutes.

Impact Fultz barely missed a shot in the loss, yet again turning in a well-rounded performance. He has firmly established himself as the Magic's starting point guard, and his production of late has warranted it, even with Jalen Suggs having recently returned from an injury of his own. Through five games in January, Fultz is averaging 14.2 points, 6.4 assists, 4.2 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 30.4 minutes, though his scoring has come on an unsustainable 61.5 percent from the field.

Records season-high six steals Fultz logged 16 points (8-16 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, seven assists and six steals in 31 minutes during Saturday's 115-101 win over Golden State.

Impact Fultz got off to a solid start Saturday, scoring eight points on 4-of-10 shooting in the first half to go along with four assists, three rebounds and two steals. But the Magic point guard really showed out in the third quarter on both ends of the court, missing just one shot en route to eight points while also grabbing a whopping four steals to help Orlando increase its lead heading into the final period. Fultz posted a game- and season-high six steals in the contest and also led all players with seven assists.

Solid effort in loss Fultz closed Friday's 119-100 loss to the Wizards with 12 points (5-12 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, six assists and three steals across 26 minutes.

Impact Fultz put up some solid numbers in the blowout loss. He continues to score inconsistently from game to game, but he's currently on pace for his best steals rate in a season. In his last nine games, he's racked up a total of 20 steals, bringing his season average up to an excellent 1.6 per contest.

Leading scorer in loss Fultz totaled 16 points (7-13 FG, 1-4 3Pt, 1-2 FT), three rebounds, three assists, two blocks and two steals over 28 minutes during Tuesday's 129-110 loss to the Lakers.

Impact Fultz led the Magic in scoring, posting his highest point total since finishing with 24 points Dec. 19 against Atlanta. Fultz has scored 15 or more points on five occasions this year, now reaching double figures in three of his last four outings.

Flirts with triple-double Fultz accumulated eight points (3-5 FG, 2-4 FT), seven rebounds, eight assists and four steals in 24 minutes during Friday's 133-113 victory over the Spurs.

Impact Fultz tallied season highs in rebounds and steals Friday. The 2017 No. 1 pick is averaging 12.6 points, 5.8 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 2.0 steals in 28.8 minutes over his last five games. Fultz has been a solid fantasy option since returning from his toe injury in late November.

Drops season-high 24 points Fultz registered 24 points (11-19 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six rebounds, nine assists and one steal over 33 minutes during Monday's 126-125 loss to the Hawks.

Impact Fultz continues to separate himself from the pack, establishing himself as the lead point guard for the Magic. While his numbers are likely to fluctuate, his ability to contribute on both ends of the floor makes him more appealing than his competition. He is a borderline top-30 player over the past week, placing him firmly in the must-roster basket.

Teases triple-double Wednesday Fultz accumulated 16 points (8-14 FG), seven rebounds, nine assists, one block and four steals in 32 minutes during Wednesday's 135-124 win over the Hawks.

Impact With Jalen Suggs (ankle) still sidelined, Fultz made his eighth straight start and came within one assist of his first double-double of the season and wasn't too far off from his first triple-double since the 2019-20 campaign. The oft-injured point guard is still looking for some consistency -- not surprising considering he only played 26 games over the prior two seasons due to a torn ACL. Still, if he can stay healthy, he has the talent to become a solid contributor in the Orlando backcourt.

Nearly goes scoreless in win Fultz amassed one point (0-4 FG, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and four assists over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 116-111 overtime win over the Clippers.

Impact Fultz scored his fewest points Wednesday since returning from a toe injury. Fultz also picked up four fouls and three turnovers in Wednesday's victory. Alarmingly, the 24-year-old point guard only attempted four field goals in 28 minutes.

Mitchell scores 34, Cavaliers top Magic 107-96

Set for a few more minutes Friday Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said he's looking to give Fultz (toe) "a couple more" minutes during Friday's matchup against the Cavaliers, Khobi Price of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Fultz made his season debut Wednesday, logging eight points, four assists and two steals in 17 minutes as a starter. The 2017 No. 1 overall pick will remain in the starting lineup Friday and, per his head coach, will likely see a few more minutes than he did Wednesday. Fultz has had a difficult time staying healthy during his six-year career, appearing in more than 20 games just once (2019-2020), so expect Orlando to be extremely careful with the point guard as he works his way back to full strength following his recovery from a toe fracture he suffered during a preseason workout.

Scores eight points in season debut Fultz finished with eight points (3-8 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-2 FT), one rebound, four assists, one block and two steals in 17 minutes during Wednesday's 125-108 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Coming off a toe injury that cost him most of the first two months of the season, Fultz was restricted to around 15 minutes for Wednesday's contest. He was aggressive in the first quarter, taking six shots and scoring four of his eight points. The 24-year-old has played just 27 games over the last three seasons, so Orlando is likely to ease him back into the rotation to minimize the risk of another injury.

Starting, on minutes restriction Fultz (toe) will start Wednesday against the Hawks but will be on a restriction of around 15 minutes, Dante Marchitelli of Bally Sports Florida reports.

Impact Fultz and teammate Cole Anthony (oblique) will both return on a minutes restriction, though Anthony will be able to record around 20 during Wednesday's contest. Fultz should play a hefty role once he's back in form, and the pair's return will likely result in dwindling minutes for R.J. Hampton in the coming contests.

Will debut Wednesday Fultz (toe) is listed as available for Wednesday's matchup against Atlanta, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fultz has yet to play this season due to a fractured toe he suffered shortly before training camp, but it appears the 2017 No. 1 overall pick will make his 2022-23 debut Wednesday. It's unclear what the point guard's role will be, but he certainly looked solid at the end of last season and finished the 2021-22 campaign with averages of 10.8 points, 5.5 assists, 2.7 rebounds and 1.1 steals in 20.0 minutes per game. With Cole Anthony (oblique) also expected back Wednesday, the minutes breakdown between the two guards will be worth monitoring.
