Fultz got the standing ovation when he first stepped on the court
Markelle Fultz returned after missing the last 68 games and ended with 10 points, 8 assists and 4 rebounds in 15 minutes shooting with 5 for 13 from the field.
Per ESPN, Markelle Fultz joined former Washington Bullet Kevin Porter (1980) as the only players in the shot-clock era to record 10 points and 8 assists in under 15 minutes, according to Elias Sports Bureau research. "There was a little bit of excitement," Fultz said about entering the game for the first time. "And a little bit of 'I have to help the team. I don't want to let the team down.' Once I stepped out there on the floor, it felt great to be back out there with my brothers."
