Former No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz<\/a> is signing a 10-day contract with the Toronto Raptors<\/a>, the team announced Monday.<\/p>\n Fultz, 27, last played in the NBA last season, appearing in 21 games for the Sacramento Kings<\/a>. He spent time this season with the Raptors 905 G League team.<\/p>\n Injuries have plagued Fultz since the 76ers drafted him in 2017; he appeared in fewer than 20 games in each of his first two seasons.<\/p>\n Fultz has since evolved into a strong defensive guard capable of moving the ball on offense. His best season came in 2022-23, when he averaged 14 points and 5.7 assists while shooting 51.4% from the field for the Orlando Magic<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Raptors are in a tight race with the Hawks, 76ers, Magic, Heat and Hornets to stay out of the Eastern Conference play-in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mar 23, 2026, 03:34 PM ET Former No. 1 pick Markelle Fultz is signing a 10-day contract with…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":559873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[574],"tags":[64,63,726,85],"class_list":["post-559872","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-basketball","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-basketball","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=559872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/559872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/559873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=559872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=559872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=559872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
