COLUMBIA, MO. • This time, Missouri didn’t even get two minutes out of Michael Porter Jr.

After sitting for most of Friday’s season-opener against Iowa State, the preseason All-American was held out of Monday’s game against Wagner as the team’s medical staff evaluates what’s been described as both a hip and leg injury.

Porter not only didn’t play Monday, but he didn’t sit on the bench with his teammates during the game.

The Tigers didn’t miss their most celebrated player in the first half and took a 54-21 lead into halftime.
