Today the Orlando Magic ushered in a regular game with the Cleveland Cavaliers, but unfortunately, the Magic Master Markelle Fultz accidentally injured his left knee. Subsequently, the Magic officially announced that after inspection, Fultz was diagnosed with a torn cruciate ligament in his left knee and was reimbursed in advance of the season.
In the first quarter of the game, Fultz was breaking through with the ball. When he hit the penalty area, he was injured and fell to the ground without contact. Judging from the replay, it should be that his left knee was injured and his expression was quite painful.

Then the magic team doctor rushed up, Fultz got into the wheelchair with the help of the team doctor, his left leg was basically unable to bear weight, and then he returned to the locker room. Afterwards, the Magic officially announced that Fultz would retire early.
As the No. 1 pick in 2017, Fultz’s career was not so smooth. He was troubled by his shoulders during the two years of the 76ers. He was even suspected of suffering from mental illness, and was finally traded to the Magic by the 76ers.
After joining the Magic, Fultz gradually got out of trouble and performed quite well. In 72 games with the Magic last season, Fultz averaged 27.7 minutes per game, averaging 12.1 points, 3.3 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game. In the first 7 games of the season, he averaged 30.1 minutes per game, averaged 14.3 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.1 assists per game, and set a career high in points per game and assists per game.
But who would have thought that this should have been an explosive season, but Fultz suffered a knee injury. It is worth mentioning that in the offseason last year, the Magic renewed Fultz with $50 million in three years.
