The Magic understandably point to the positives after picking up Fultz’s $12.3 million contract option for next season. Orlando has not been a free-agent destination for years, and the team has a clear need for a front-line floor leader and penetrator. The team wants to believe that Fultz, at the very least, has turned a significant corner. “He still has shoulder soreness from time to time, and he still has some issues with his knee,” Clifford said, referring in the latter case to an injury Fultz had in college. “But from the day he’s gotten here, he’s worked.”
