76ers reportedly dealing Markelle Fultz to Magic for Jonathon Simmons, picks
The Philadelphia 76ers are trading point guard Markelle Fultz to the Orlando Magic for small forward Jonathon Simmons, a first-round pick via the Oklahoma City Thunder, and a second-round pick via the Cleveland Cavaliers, reports Shams Charania of The Athletic.
What It Means:
Fultz has only appeared in 33 career games since being taken 1st overall in 2017, but the Magic were able to get him at a relatively low price. The 20-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since November 19.
Fultz averaged 19.5 FanDuel points for the 76ers this season, with 8.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.1 assists, and 0.9 steals per contest.
