Unfortunately, against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night, it's no different.

Through 28 total games this season, Morant has averaged 20.3 points, 7.5 assists, and 4.2 rebounds on 45/31/81 shooting from the field. Fortunately for Memphis, they have a record of 13-7 without Morant this season, so all hope is not lost against the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday.
