By: Jesse Larch, Sports Talk Philly Staff

It has been widely reported that the Sixers are bringing in top draft prospect Markelle Fultz for a workout following rumors of a blockbuster trade to acquire the first overall pick from the Boston Celtics. 

Derek Bodner has reported that the workout is officially scheduled:

It is anticipated that Fultz will undergo a physical to ensure that the guard is healthy before the Sixers surrender what is reported to be a package of valuable draft selections. Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical reports that this is the last hurdle to clear before the trade is agreed upon:

Sources: The plan's for Markelle Fultz's visit to Philadelphia today to clear way toward finalizing a deal with Boston for No. 1 pick.
