Markieff Morris (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Atlanta

Morris (shoulder) has been ruled out for Saturday's game against Atlanta, Chris Vivlamore of the AJC reports.

Analysis:

Morris had been considered probable as of Saturday afternoon, but his shoulder injury will in fact keep him out for the second consecutive game. His absence Saturday will further strain an already banged up roster that is missing several key pieces, including Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe in addition to John Leuer and Ronnie Price. Mizra Teletovic could fill in at power forward, but he is questionable with an ankle injury.
