Markelle Fultz: biography
Markelle Fultz is a young basketball player from the United States. He is currently playing with the Orlando Magic and improving his stats, promising to become a threat for any opponent.
Childhood and youth
The future athlete was born in Maryland in the spring of 1998. The mother, Ebony, had to raise Markelle and his sister, Shauntese, alone: the father had left the family. Perhaps, it was the reason for the woman’s helicopter parenting: in 2018, journalists revealed that Ebony had cameras installed in her son’s apartment.
Fultz went to the DeMatha Catholic High School. In this period, his success was mixed, but the young man enhanced his performance in the end; he could boast the recording number of assists (278) in his state. Besides, Markelle participated in the FIBA Americas U18 Championship; the national team won the gold medal in 2016.
College basketball career
After graduation, Fultz entered the University of Washington and joined its basketball team. He became its leader immediately.
Despite the Huskies’ mediocre results, the athlete gained several prestigious awards and decided to take part in the next year’s draft.
Professional basketball career
In 2017, Fultz signed a contract with the Philadelphia 76ers, who were going to make a considerable force with their rookies. Still, a shoulder injury prevented Markelle from showing his potential to the fullest; he had to recover for a while. However, the young man returned the same season and had the first triple-double in his career.

In 2018, the shoulder trauma consequences lingered; Fultz was diagnosed with thoracic outlet syndrome, and his agent announced he would not play until recovery.
In 2019, the 76ers decided to trade Markelle to the Orlando Magic. The debuting match took place in October; the athlete scored twelve points. His averages worsened for some period; he could have his ankles broken during the game against the Toronto Raptors.
Personal life
The young man’s personal life has been stormy. He started dating the Instagram model Kat Mack early in 2018; the woman said she was pregnant in September. By that moment, Fultz had already had an affair with Kat’s sister, Sierra. The couple broke up; Kat miscarried.
The romance with Sierra has not been smooth as well. In 2019, the sportsman suspected his girlfriend of cheating and logged on her Snapchat account; whether the lovers are together now is unknown.
Markelle can be easily recognized thanks to his braids and several arm tattoos; words from the Bible are pictured on his leg as well.

Markelle Fultz’s net worth is $10 million in 2020.
