For the third time in the past five games, the Washington men’s basketball team will be without its star Markelle Futz.

The freshman guard will sit out Sunday’s game at Washington State due to a sore right knee that kept him on the bench when the Huskies played at Colorado and Utah two weeks ago.

Fultz returned last week and delivered two dazzling performances. He tallied 26 points and six assists during in a 76-68 defeat against Arizona and finished with 19 points and four assists during an 83-81 loss to Arizona State.

Washington (9-18, 2-13 Pac-12), which is riding a nine-game losing streak, closes out the regular season next week at No.
