Orlando Magic guard Steve Francis missed Friday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies because of a bruised chest and left shoulder.

Francis, Orlando's leading scorer, didn't accompany the team on the trip, instead heading to Washington to get a second opinion about his injury that also forced him to sit out against Washington on Nov. 23.

He is expected to rejoin the Magic in Milwaukee on Saturday but his playing status for that night's game against the Bucks was unclear.
