Former Alabama basketball star Mark Sears made his NBA debut on Sunday night in the Milwaukee Bucks' 118-113 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers. He did not score any points in seven minutes of action, checking in during the second quarter.

Sears went undrafted this past summer after exhausting his collegiate eligibility. He was later picked up by the Bucks on a two-way contract. He began his college basketball career at Ohio before spending three seasons as a member of the Crimson Tide.

He helped lead the 2023-24 team to the school's first-ever appearance in the men's Final Four and received All-America and All-SEC honors in each of his final two seasons (he was also named to the All-SEC second team for the 2022-23 campaign.
