OKLAHOMA CITY -- Grizzlies star Ja Morant missed his sixth straight game Thursday night because of a strained left hamstring as Memphis fell to the Oklahoma City Thunder, 125-104.

Morant, who averages 22.3 points, has played in just 43 of the team's 73 games this season.

Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said Morant was injured on March 14 against Cleveland, and he's considered day-to-day.

"Last two weeks, he's made a lot of great progress," Jenkins said. "And he's working his tail off to get back out there."

The Grizzlies are in the hunt to earn home court in the first round of the playoffs. They're in fifth place in the Western Conference, 3 games behind Houston for second place.
