    What a waste .

    Even if his shot sucks . He's a young player . He could have worked on his defense and carved out a niche there ... then over time as his confidence grows , his shot would probably come around .

    But he , his coaching staff , the sixers , have all responded poorly to pressure

    If that's actually his problem, a first rib resection might fix it.

    Why couldn't the sixers staff make that diagnosis. It's not something the average PT wouldn't know of .

    After initially not buying the idea that it's the "yips", I'm now starting to strongly believe it's the yips and he is willing to go to even self-destructive lengths for people not to know it. I don't like the word yips. Mental injuries are injuries too, and they can bring down a much stronger person than a physical injury can.

    In other news:

    “Ryan Anderson has been diagnosed with Psychogenic Piece Of Shlt, (POS), a mental injury. POS affects Ryan's nerves, severely limiting confidence and ability to shoot a basketball. POS is only treatable by trading the player.”​

    76ers GM Elton Brand unsure if Markelle Fultz will return this season

    PHILADELPHIA -- The Philadelphia 76ers are unsure if Markelle Fultz will play again this season.

    The 20-year-old Fultz was diagnosed this month with thoracic outlet syndrome and is doing physical therapy in Los Angeles. General manager Elton Brand said Saturday prior to a game against Toronto he has no timetable for Fultz's return to basketball activities.

    Brand said it was "to be determined" if Fultz will play again this season.

    "I can't say right now," Brand said.

    The GM expects to update Fultz's situation in "a few weeks."

    Fultz was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2017 draft, but his young career has been sidetracked by injuries and ineffectiveness. He averaged 8.2 points through 19 games but was shut down by his agent shortly after Jimmy Butler arrived via trade from Minnesota and Fultz lost his spot in the starting lineup.

    Fultz's shooting form, particularly from the free throw line, has been scrutinized. The 76ers said earlier this month that specialists have identified a compression or irritation in the area between his lower neck and upper chest. Physical therapy was recommended for Fultz before returning to play.

    Fultz played just 14 games last season because of a shoulder injury that appeared to affect his shooting mechanics.

    Easily one of the strangest stories in the history of the NBA.
