Fultz, 24, is the second guard on the Magic to sustain an offseason injury. Gary Harris suffered a torn meniscus in his left knee last month.

Fultz sustained a torn ACL in January 2021 before making his return in February 2022. He averaged 10.8 points and 5.5 assists in 18 games (three starts) last season.

Fultz has contributed 10.9 points and 4.8 assists in 131 career games (86 starts) with the Philadelphia 76ers and Magic. He was the top overall pick of the 2017 NBA Draft by the Sixers.

Training camp begins Tuesday.
