Shortly after rumors began that Markelle Fultz wanted a “fresh start” with a new team, as The Athletic’s Sam Amick, Derek Bodner and Jared Weiss reported, trade rumors began swirling.

They haven’t slowed down since, and with Fultz now opting to sit out until he sees a shoulder specialist, his future with the Philadelphia 76ers has become unknown. But on Wednesday, general manager Elton Brand addressed the situation, making it known that the team’s primary focus is on Fultz’s health and helping the young guard.

Per The Athletic’s Michael Lee:

In an interview today with Elton Brand for a future story, we broached topic of @MarkelleF: "Our sole focus with Markelle right now is his health. We hope to know more in the coming days, but the priority is helping him. Anything else you may see or hear out there is just noise.” — Michael Lee (@MrMichaelLee) November 29, 2018

It’s certainly good to hear, but when the news of Fultz’s shoulder issue came to light, both Brand and head coach Brett Brown seemed blindsided. For the time being, Philly’s former No. 1 pick will remain in town, but there are major questions about whether or not he’ll suit up for the team again.

Answers should come sooner than later, as Fultz is reportedly slated to figure out the next steps at some point this week, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
