[@Kobe379]

As someone with shoulder problems I feel his pain. Very uncomfortable to shoot and have to find a new form that doesn't bother it. My jumper looks extremely ugly but it's pretty accurate

[@cjr1881]

What injury is that?

[@winterwolf9376]

"Right before Fultz's rookie year with the 76ers, he started feeling pain in his shoulder. That pain eventually was diagnosed as Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which is a rare nerve injury that doesn't show up on an MRI or CAT scan." For a while the guy was watching his career die right before his eyes, & he didn't even know why. Must have been tough. Glad he's healthy. Let's hope they all stay healthy & push into the finals.

[@WhyNotQuestionEverything]

He hurt that shoulder in a bike accident right?

[@damn.1672]

His injury is the equivalent to a quarterback breaking his throwing shoulder. He may never be the same

[@therealjmc9353]

No, its not.

[@sleepy4k707]

Richard Rumble True ever since he joined the magic he's been a whole new player. And when I say that i don't mean hell never be good but I mean playstyle-wise. I wish him nothing but the best though

[@brendondowdy5651]

His injury should have 0 impact on the form of his shot. Its all mental. Atleast he's good enough that he will get another nba contract tho. Hope dude gets his money.

[@therealjmc9353]

Brendon Dowdy thoracic outlet syndrome has to do with the brachial plexus. If even one of the brachial plexus nerves gets damaged in any way it can cause a lot of movement abnormalities that take a long time to come back from. TOS is pretty standard when it comes to a hard fall on your shoulder, lots of nerves go to the arm that come out behind the clavicle. Thats why he had trouble with simple stuff like tying his shoe, his neuromuscular system was all jacked up.

[@TMthe33rd]

Lol that comparison is too lopsided, it's unfair

[@kaijones7323]

He's got the range of motion back pretty good- as seen in his current mid range, which is a pretty nice shot, but clearly lacks the shoulder strength to use the same form from 3. I think it'll keep improving for now.

[@FunWithMemesFunWithMemes]

I really like how Orlando has handled Fultz's development. They are well aware of the sky-high potential he has, and they are helping him with his jumpshot so he can reach it

[@PhillyMar]

I wish Philadelphia didn't give up on him so quickly. He's full of potential. Like when he finally got some more playing time, he recorded a triple double in a limited number of minutes.

[@hiddjaz999]

You can tell in the Philly pre draft work out that his shot slightly changed from college indicating that his injury over time got worse we just didn't notice it at first, then it got so bad he missed a chunk of time to not only fix his form but relearn it, which also indicates that he's lost a lot of strength in his shoulder as he's form for his pull up mid is almost exactly like his form in college, he just doesn't have the strength to shoot normally with out the momentum of a pull up mid range

High school, 10th grade. Playing varsity basketball, somebody had practically checked me and I smacked my head down on the court and cracked my head open. After that, I never shot the same since. Got a brain scan in 11th grade, horrible brain swelling. 12 grade, practiced putting the form back together. Here I am now, 6'11 and make 3s again from 30 feet. A damn miracle

this is exacty what happened to me except he got injured and i just took a break. i was a rly good shooter since second grade but i took a break from basketball thru 8th. i couldnt make a shot for my life. i went 5 for 50 mostly every practice so i stuck with finishing only and worked on my shot outside of games. now im going into 10th and i can hit shots like i used to but its weird how u can forget something u do for most of your life lmao

I disagree with this. If you put up over a thousand shots a day as a kid and you do not touch a basketball for years you can still shoot lights out. Lol my game is weak these days except for that one area.
