The endless series of updates on Markelle Fultz continues.
Fultz will be re-evaluated early next week for his thoracic outlet syndrome, according to a report Tuesday by The Inquirer's Keith Pompey.
Fultz has been undergoing rehab in Los Angeles with physical therapist Judy Seto. While general manager Elton Brand would not say on Dec. 22 whether Fultz would play again this season, Fultz and his agent Raymond Brothers do expect the second-year guard will play again in 2018-19, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

As he was on Christmas, Fultz was with the Sixers for their game Tuesday night against the Clippers in Los Angeles.
“Just going through his physical therapy," head coach Brett Brown told reporters pregame about Fultz. "In relation to when he returns, I don’t have any other updates.”
On Dec. 4, the Sixers announced Fultz's new diagnosis of thoracic outlet syndrome, and said he would be out indefinitely.
The last game action for Fultz came on Nov. 19, in a 119-114 Sixers win over the Suns. In the second half of that game, Fultz saw his backup point guard minutes go to T.J. McConnell. The next day, Brothers recommended Fultz see a shoulder specialist in New York and that he be witheld from games or practices until his consultation. That consultation evolved into visits to multiple specialists, as Fultz eventually received his new diagnosis.
