Monté Morris News, Rumors, Updates - Indiana Pacers

Deemed week-to-week Morris (back) received an epidural injection Wednesday for his sore back and is considered week-to-week.

Impact Morris has missed the past two games with a sore back, which will keep him out for an extended period. In his stead, Delon Wright, Jordan Goodwin and Corey Kispert remain candidates to see more run. Wright has started the past two games.

Ruled out Thursday Morris (back) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Toronto, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morris will miss a third consecutive game Thursday, but he'll be re-evaluated Wednesday to determine where he is in his recovery process. Delon Wright and Jordan Goodwin should continue to see increased playing time against the Raptors, while a better idea of Morris' status could be revealed once the team checks him ou again.

Missing second straight game Wizards head coach Wes Unseld Jr. said Morris (back) has been ruled out in advance of Tuesday's game in Atlanta, Ava Wallace of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Morris wasn't able to show enough meaningful progress in his recovery from low-back tightness during the Wizards' morning shootaround, so he'll end up sitting out his second straight game as a result. Expect Delon Wright to take on elevated minutes as the replacement in the starting five for Morris, while Jordan Goodwin should remain in the rotation as Wright's primary backup.

Questionable Tuesday Morris (back) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Atlanta.

Impact Morris was unavailable for Sunday's matchup against Chicago after he was a late addition to the injury report, and his status for Tuesday's game is up in the air. Delon Wright started in his place Sunday and would likely do so again if Morris sits out Tuesday, while Corey Kispert and Jordan Goodwin would also be in line for additional run.

Won't play Sunday Morris (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls.

Impact Morris was a late addition to the injury report Sunday morning due to low-back tightness, and as is usually the case when that happens, he's been ruled out for the afternoon tilt. Last time he was sidelined, Delon Wright slid into the starting lineup, which will presumably happen again, but Kendrick Nunn, Jordan Goodwin and Corey Kispert are also candidates for increased roles.

Late addition to injury report Morris is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Bulls due to low-back soreness.

Impact Morris was a late addition to the injury report, which is never a good sign. If the starting point guard is sidelined for the afternoon tilt, Delon Wright, Kendrick Nunn, Jordan Goodwin and Corey Kispert would all be candidates for increased run.

Productive in return Morris registered 17 points (7-10 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 3-3 FT), six rebounds, four assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Saturday's 127-113 win over the Pacers.

Impact Morris returned to the lineup after missing the previous game due to a back injury. He looked sharp in the win, scoring in double figures for the 12th time in his past 13 games. While he is outside the top 120 for the season, he has been able to put up top-75 value over the past month. He is not a high-volume player but often does just enough to stay relevant, as seen from his recent stretch of quality play. Despite the lack of upside, he is worth rostering in most leagues moving forward.

Starting against Indiana Morris is in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Morris sat out Wednesday's win over the Hornets due to back tightness but will return to the hardwood Saturday, and he will do so in his regular starting role. He's averaging 11.7 points, 3.2 rebounds and 5.4 assists per game since the start of January.

FEBRUARY 11, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Not listed on injury report Morris (back) isn't listed on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Pacers.

Impact Morris sat out Wednesday's win over the Hornets due to back tightness but will return to the mix Saturday. Before his absence, the point guard had appeared in five straight games and scored in double figures in four of those matchups, posting 11.2 points, 5.0 assists and 2.8 rebounds in 26.8 minutes during that stretch.

FEBRUARY 10, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Out Wednesday Morris (back) is out Wednesday against the Hornets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Back tightness will force Morris to miss his first game since Jan. 25, and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) will be sidelined too. In Morris' absence, more minutes should be available for Delon Wright, Kendrick Nunn and Jordan Goodwin.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Deemed questionable Wednesday Morris has been added to the injury report as questionable for Wednesday's game versus the Hornets due to back tightness, Chase Hughes of NBC Sports Washington reports.

Impact Morris wasn't listed on the initial injury report, so it seems the issue surfaced over the last 24 hours. That generally doesn't bode well regarding players' statuses for the game, so it will be worth monitoring Morris leading up to the 7 PM ET opening tipoff. If Morris can't play, Delon Wright, Kendrick Nunn and Jordan Goodwin would be candidates for added run, and Bradley Beal (foot), if available, could see additional time on the ball.

FEBRUARY 8, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Comes close to double-double Morris finished with 18 points (7-14 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 33 minutes during Saturday's 125-123 loss to Brooklyn.

Impact Morris missed two clutch free throws late in the fourth quarter, but aside from that, the floor general had a strong performance and posted decent numbers as Washington's main playmaker. The veteran has scored in double digits in all but one of his last 11 outings and is also averaging 5.4 assists and 2.8 rebounds during that stretch.

FEBRUARY 5, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Muted effort in return Morris chipped in 10 points (2-7 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), three rebounds and one steal in 28 minutes during Saturday's 113-103 win over the Pelicans.

Impact Morris returned to action Saturday after missing one game due to a hamstring injury, sliding straight back into the starting lineup. Despite playing as the starting point guard all season long, Morris remains nothing more than a streaming consideration in standard formats. Delon Wright played only 24 minutes in the loss, and while he was certainly not productive, he remains the preferred fantasy option.

Not on injury report Morris (hamstring) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game against the Pelicans.

Impact Morris was unavailable for the second half of a back-to-back set Wednesday against Houston due to a sore right hamstring, but he'll return to the court following a one-game absence. Over his last four appearances, he's averaged 13.3 points, 6.5 assists and 3.8 rebounds in 28.3 minutes per game.

JANUARY 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Downgraded to out Morris (hamstring) has been ruled out for Wednesday's matchup against the Rockets.

Impact Morris will sit out the second half of Washington's back-to-back set due to right hamstring soreness. Kendrick Nunn is available to make his Wizards debut, so he and Delon Wright should absorb the majority of Morris' missing minutes.

JANUARY 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Iffy for Wednesday Morris is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Rockets due to right hamstring soreness.

Impact Morris posted 13 points, five assists and three rebounds in 27 minutes during Tuesday's one-point win over Dallas, but the veteran guard is a question mark for the second half of Washginton's back-to-back set. Recently-acquired Kendrick Nunn will be available for Wednesday's matchup and should share the point guard duties with Delon Wright if Morris is downgraded to out.

JANUARY 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Posts quality line in 24 minutes Morris finished with 10 points (4-5 FG, 2-3 3Pt), six assists, one rebound and one steal in 24 minutes Saturday in the Wizards' 138-118 win over the Magic.

Impact Morris delivered some solid if unspectacular numbers across the board in the win and has quietly enjoyed a nice run of production over the past six games, averaging 13.3 points, 6.0 assists, 2.8 rebounds and 1.8 three-pointers in 28.0 minutes per contest. The point guard's scoring output is inflated by 56.1 percent shooting from the field and 52.4 percent shooting from three-point range, however, and Morris continues to face a threat for playing time in the defensive-minded Delon Wright, who logged 24 minutes Saturday. Though the two guards occasionally share the court together, Wright still poses a bigger challenge to Morris' playing time than he does to shooting guard Bradley Beal.

JANUARY 22, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Double-double in Monday's loss Morris closed with 17 points (6-13 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds, 10 assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Monday's 127-118 loss to the Warriors.

Impact It's the 27-year-old point guard's second double-double of the season, with the other coming Dec. 30 against the Magic. Morris missed Washington's last game due to hamstring soreness, but he seemed none the worse for wear Monday, and over his last 10 games he's averaging 12.0 points, 6.5 assists, 3.5 boards and 1.2 threes.

Will play Monday Morris (hamstring) will be available for Monday's matchup against Golden State, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morris was sidelined for Washington's previous contest due to hamstring soreness, but the point guard has been cleared to return Monday and will presumably be back in the starting lineup. The 2017 second-round pick has started all 37 of his appearances this season and is averaging 10.1 points, 5.3 assists (career high) and 3.3 rebounds in 28.5 minutes.
