Plenty of people are worried about Markelle Fultz’s shoulder injury, which has, apparently, prompted him and the Philadelphia 76ers to tweak his shooting form. The result, through four games: 33 percent shooting from two-point range, no attempted threes and a 50 percent clip at the foul line. It would seem, then, as if profound concern [...]
