Markieff Morris News, Rumors, Updates - Los Angeles Lakers

Available Sunday Morris (illness) is available for Sunday's game against Charlotte.

Iffy for Sunday The Mavericks list Morris (non-COVID-19-related illness) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Hornets.

Impact Morris missed Friday's 125-114 loss to the Nuggets with the illness, but the Mavericks will wait and see how he feels closer to Sunday's 7:30 p.m. ET tipoff before determining if he'll be available. The veteran forward hasn't been part of the Mavericks' rotation all season and likely won't be featured on the second unit even if he's cleared in advance of the opening tip.

Ruled out Morris (illness) will not play in Friday's game against Denver.

Impact Morris hasn't seen any action for Dallas so far this season, so his absence won't have many fantasy implications.

Under the weather Morris is questionable for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to a non-COVID illness.

Impact Morris has yet to see any game action, so his potential absence wouldn't have much of an impact on Dallas' rotation. However, if he's cleared, Morris could actually see some playing time, as Maxi Kleber (toe) has been downgraded to out.

Suits up Friday Morris (ankle) was able to play in Friday's preseason game against Detroit.

Impact Morris sat out Dallas' preseason game back on Oct. 7, but it was always considered a minor setback. Morris is a long shot to crack Dallas' rotation for Opening Night. He finished with four points and one three-pointer during seven minutes of action Friday.

Mavs Preseason: How Important is Markieff Morris' Veteran Presence? After re-signing with the Dallas Mavericks following a mid-season trade, Markieff Morris says he always had plans to return in free agency.

Expected to re-sign with Dallas Morris is expected to re-sign with Dallas on Tuesday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morris was traded to Dallas by Brooklyn at the deadline last year, but he hardly saw any playing time for the struggling Mavericks, averaging just 4.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 8.6 minutes across eight appearances. Dallas retained Dwight Powell and Maxi Kleber this summer and added Grant Williams (hand), Richaun Holmes, Dereck Lively and Derrick Jones to its frontcourt, so it's unclear where the veteran Morris fits in.

AUGUST 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Warriors Morris (knee) is available for Wednesday's game versus the Warriors.

Impact Morris has been upgraded from questionable to available Wednesday after missing the last three games with left knee soreness. However, the veteran forward hasn't played double-digit minutes since Jan. 26, so he is unlikely to heavily impact the Mavericks' rotation.

MARCH 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable Wednesday Morris (knee) is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Warriors.

Impact Morris is a negligible part of the rotation in Dallas, so his playing status will not impact fantasy hoops. Through five appearances for the Mavericks, Morris has logged a total of 24 minutes.

MARCH 21, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out Monday Morris (knee) has been ruled out Monday against the Grizzlies.

Impact Morris is usually outside the rotation anyways and hasn't played since March 13. There are minimal fantasy implications here.

MARCH 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as questionable Morris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Morris has been dealing with a lingering knee injury and has been unavailable for the last two games. It's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Monday, but his status shouldn't significantly impact the Mavericks' rotation.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Morris (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Morris has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to left knee soreness. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Memphis.

MARCH 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Friday Morris (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Morris has dealt with lingering knee pain as of late but has also failed to etch out a steady role in Jason Kidd's rotation. The veteran forward has not seen double-digit minutes since being traded to Dallas, so his potential absence would have little fantasy impact.

MARCH 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Morris (knee) is out Wednesday against the Spurs, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Impact As expected, Morris' left knee soreness will prevent him from seeing the floor. He hasn't seen double-digit minutes since Jan. 26.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play Wednesday Morris ((knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Morris was a late addition to the injury report and likely won't suit up versus San Antonio. Luka Doncic (thigh) has already been ruled out, while Kyrie Irving (foot), Christian Wood (foot) and Tim Hardaway (calf) are all questionable, so Dallas could have another skeleton crew available Wednesday.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season of disappointment continues Morris finished Monday's 104-88 loss to Memphis with four points (2-2 FG) in five minutes.

Impact Morris played fewer than 10 minutes for the eighth straight game, continuing to offer nothing in terms of tangible production. Given those eight games are spread across almost eight weeks, it is clear he is simply a depth piece for the Mavericks, utilized if and when the team is down on troops.

Available to debut Wednesday Morris (knee) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Morris and Kyrie Irving are both clear from the injury report and are expected to debut Wednesday. Morris saw spot minutes in Brooklyn and is averaging just 3.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 10.6 minutes. However, he could see a marginally increased role, given that Dallas has a thinner depth chart. Either way, he's not expected to be fantasy relevant in standard leagues.

Impact Though the Mavericks and Nets agreed in principle Sunday to a deal that sent Morris and Kyrie Irving to Dallas, the trade wasn't officially finalized until shortly before Monday's game against the Jazz, leaving both new acquisitions unavailable to make their debuts in that contest. Assuming Morris' sore left knee doesn't provide any complications in practice Tuesday, however, he should be in uniform Wednesday. Even so, Morris wasn't a rotation player in Brooklyn for much of the season, and his outlook for playing time in Dallas may not change much with all of Dwight Powell, Christian Wood and Reggie Bullock presumably ahead of him in the pecking order for frontcourt minutes.

Impact Morris hadn't been a regular part of the Brooklyn rotation this season, and though he joins a Dallas frontcourt that's comparatively lacking in depth, the 33-year-old isn't a lock see consistent minutes off the bench. At least in the short term, Morris may have a path to playing time on the second unit while Finney-Smith is out of the picture and while Davis Bertans (calf) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) are both potentially out through the All-Star break. Christian Wood (thumb), meanwhile, has missed Dallas' last eight games but could be back in action as soon as Monday in Utah.
