MILWAUKEE (AP) — Memphis Grizzlies guard Ja Morant missed a second straight game, sitting out Sunday against the Milwaukee Bucks as he deals with a sore right shoulder.

Morant also didn’t play Thursday in the Grizzlies’ 120-119 victory over the Houston Rockets. He has averaged 20.3 points, 7.5 steals and 4.2 rebounds in 28 games this season.

Milwaukee was missing Bobby Portis for a fifth straight game due to personal reasons.
