Hallelujah, a young 76ers player has fully recovered from an injury on time. The Sixers will begin their training camp in September and get their season underway in October. The good news for Sixers fans is it looks like Fultz and Ben Simmons will be a full go for the start of camp.

Fultz has been sidelined with an ankle sprain since the beginning of Summer League play. Although it looked disastrous when it happened, the results of his medical tests came back looking good and he was even seen moving around pretty well in the days that followed. 

In an interview at the Sixers Shore Tour, Fultz reassured fans that his ankle is fine, "I'm 100 percent. I could go out and play right now" he said.

The Sixers' rookie looks to play a big role for the team this upcoming season. Mainly playing off the ball alongside fellow backcourt member and former number 1 overall pick Ben Simmons, but also assuming some of the ball-handling duties.
