Markelle Fultz has returned to the Philadelphia 76ers to continue his shoulder rehabilitation, sources told ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

There is no timetable for his comeback but Fultz will be with teammates when the 76ers face the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.

Fultz has been away from the team since early December while undergoing therapy for thoracic outlet syndrome in Los Angeles. The Sixers have been monitoring his progress and will determine if he can make a return to the court this season, Wojnarowski reports.

The 20-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since Nov. 19 when he played just seven minutes off the bench and was on the verge of losing his spot in the 76ers' rotation.

The oft-injured Fultz has struggled with the lingering shoulder issue since being drafted in 2017, seeing minutes in just 36 contests combined, including three playoff games.

Fultz is averaging 8.2 points, 3.7 rebounds, and 3.1 assists in 22.5 minutes.
