MILWAUKEE — 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.

Nevertheless, the Grizzlies continued their recent mastery of Milwaukee with a 132-119 victory, their eighth in the past nine games.

Memphis has won its last seven meetings with the Bucks, who last beat the Grizzlies 126-114 in Milwaukee on Jan. 19, 2022.

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.
