Marcus Morris Sr. News, Rumors, Updates - New York Knicks

Returns to bench Morris won't start Wednesday's game against the Wizards.

Impact With Joel Embiid (illness) and Nicolas Batum (finger) sidelined, Morris drew a spot start next to Paul Reed in Philly's frontcourt during Friday's loss to Boston. However, Embiid and Batum will be back in action Wednesday, sending Morris and Reed to reserve roles. In his last outing off the bench, Morris scored 16 points (6-8 FG) in 20 minutes.

Gets starting nod Morris is in the starting five for Wednesday's game versus the Pelicans.

Impact Morris will replace Joel Embiid (illness) in the starting lineup Wednesday. Morris recorded 16 points, four assists, two blocks, two assists and one steal in 16 minutes during his only other starting appearances this season.

Excels off bench Monday Morris finished with 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), one rebound and one steal over 20 minutes during Monday's 138-94 victory over the Lakers.

Impact Morris was impressive off the bench Monday and had one of his best outings of the campaign, as he made the most of his minutes and was particularly sharp from three-point range. Morris reached the 20-minute mark for the first time this season, but there's a strong chance that might have happened due to the nature of the blowout win rather than him having a large role off the bench.

Returns to bench Morris isn't in the starting five for Saturday's game versus the Thunder.

Impact Joel Embiid will replace Morris in the starting lineup Saturday. Morris is averaging 1.1 points and 1.0 rebounds in 7.0 minutes across his previous 11 appearances coming off the bench this season.

Launches 12 shots in 16 minutes Morris chipped in 16 points (6-12 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-1 FT), four rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal over 16 minutes during Wednesday's 112-99 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Surprisingly, Morris got the start at center with Joel Embiid (hip) sidelined. He wasted no time establishing himself offensively in limited minutes, taking more shots and scoring more points in 16 minutes than he had in total over his previous seven appearances. Once Embiid is back, Morris figures to return to single-digit minutes.

Starting Wednesday Morris will enter the first unit for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.

Impact After seeing fewer than 10 minutes in each of Philadelphia's past four games, Morris will be thrust into the starting lineup with Joel Embiid (hip) sidelined. The starting five features Morris, Nicolas Batum, Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey and De'Anthony Melton. While he'll certainly see more action than he has recently, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Morris to handle 30 minutes.

Left off injury report Morris (undisclosed) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Suns.

Impact Morris is seemingly available Saturday but didn't suit up in Thursday's contest despite not being on the injury report due to still being in "ramp-up mode after being traded to Philadelphia. Therefore, it seems unlikely Morris will receive significant playing time Saturday.

NOVEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Still ramping up Morris (undisclosed) is still in "ramp-up" mode and didn't suit up for Thursday's matchup against Raptors, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Morris wasn't on the injury report for Thursday's game, suggesting he'd suit up, but he was ultimately unavailable. It's unclear if Morris is dealing with an injury, or if he's still just getting acclimated to his new team. Either way, his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Suns.

Cleared for debut Morris (trade pending) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Raptors.

Impact Morris, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin will all be available for their first game with the 76ers this season, but Nicolas Batum (personal) won't be. Morris was out of the rotation in Los Angeles, but it's unclear what his role will be with Philadelphia.

Headed to Philadelphia Morris (personal), Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin were acquired by the 76ers on Tuesday in a three-team deal that sent James Harden, P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrus...

Impact Morris averaged 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 27.8 minutes per game over three full seasons with the Clippers but wasn't part of the team's rotation during the first three games of the 2023-24 season. He was away from the team recently but will now have a change of scenery and should report to Philadelphia soon. It's not yet clear whether the 34-year-old will be able to suit up for his new team right away following his recent absence, and his role with the 76ers is somewhat murky since several frontcourt players were moved from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. However, Morris should at least have a better chance of claiming a rotation spot with the 76ers than he did with the Clippers.

Out again Tuesday Morris (personal) won't play Tuesday against the Magic, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Morris has been held out of his team's first two matchups this year by LA's coaching staff, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether he'll be asked to contribute this season for the Clippers.

OCTOBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Sunday Morris (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.

Impact Morris didn't receive any playing time in the Clippers' first two games due to an apparent coach's decision, and it remains to be seen if he'll be part of the team moving forward. Morris' next chance to play will come against the Magic on Tuesday.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Friday Morris isn't with the team and is out for Friday's game versus Utah.

Impact Morris didn't receive any playing time in the Clippers' regular-season opener, and his role with the team moving forward is questionable. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with San Antonio, but Morris appears to be a top candidate to be traded.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Will be available Morris (groin) will be available for Wednesday's game against Portland, Joey Linn of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Morris battled a groin injury for most of training camp, but there's no guarantee he actually sees the floor. Even though Terance Mann is out with an ankle injury, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum are believed to be ahead of Morris on the depth chart.

OCTOBER 24, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting out Thursday Morris (groin) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against Denver, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Morris certainly appears to be the odd man out for the Clippers this season. Robert Covington seems to be the favorite to start at power forward, while Nicolas Batum and Terance Mann could get plenty of minutes there as well.

OCTOBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play after all Morris (groin) is out for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Nuggets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Impact It's unclear if Morris' groin injury has flared up or if the Clippers are simply holding him out of Tuesday's contest. While his next opportunity to suit up is Thursday's preseason rematch with Denver, the veteran forward isn't expected to see much playing time this season.

OCTOBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available to play Tuesday Morris (groin) is available to play in Tuesday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Joey Linn of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Morris has been sidelined since Oct. 8 so it's nice to see him get the green light. Based on reports during training camp, it sounds like Morris' role on the team this season is in jeopardy.

OCTOBER 6, 2023 • STAR-TELEGRAM.COM

Set to be involved with team Morris is with the Clippers for training camp and isn't expected to step away from the team ahead of the regular season, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morris was nearly traded to the Wizards as part of a three-team deal during the offseason, but the move fell through. He spoke to the media at training camp Wednesday and said, "I'm here, I'm gonna do my job. Whatever they need me to do, I'm gonna do," Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Morris' role declined last year, as he averaged 11.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 28.1 minutes per game over 65 appearances. While he'll hope to bounce back in terms of production, it wouldn't be surprising to see him with consistent minutes as long as the relationship between him and the team remains amicable.
