Morris Injury Will Hinder Suns Offense

Morris was averaging 14.1 points and 5.4 rebounds per game heading into Nov. 12. The numbers are almost on par with his stats from 2014-15, when Morris set career highs with 15.3 points, 6.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

Any long-term injury issue would be an anomaly for Morris, who has missed only four games in his NBA career. He's missed one contest in the last three seasons combined.

The Suns will look to Mirza Teletovic and Leuer to pick up the slack in Morris' absence.
