As Chase Young rehabbed from his knee injury last season, Orlando Magic guard Markelle Fultz reached out periodically to check on his high school friend. The 24-year-old NBA star had torn his ACL almost a year before the NFL pass-rusher — and so he could relate. And relay a bit of advice.
Like Young, Fultz took longer to return than some expected. The guard didn’t suit up until 14 months after the injury — almost the same time frame as Young (13 months).
“Just letting him know to take his time,” Fultz told The Washington Times. “And not to rush.”
Basketball and football are completely different sports — and no one would argue otherwise — but Fultz’s path perhaps offers a guide for what Young may expect as he gets further and further removed from his initial injury. Just this past weekend, Fultz scored 23 points in a loss to the Washington Wizards — marking yet another instance in which the combo guard resembled more and more of his explosive, preinjury form.
