Steve Nash's right shoulder is still sore and the two-time MVP is all-but assured to sit out his third straight game Sunday when the Suns host the Chicago Bulls.

Nash who is suffering from inflammation in the shoulder and neck area left during the first half of Tuesday's win in Denver and hasn't played since. He didn't take part in Saturday's practice and Suns coach Mike D'Antoni said Nash was still having trouble with free movement.

"Steve is very questionable. We'll see how he wakes up today, but there hasn't been much improvement overnight," he said. "If there is the least amount of question, we go without him. If we lose another game, we lose. This is more important for the long term."
