Marcus Morris: Breaking News
Signs with New York
Morris will join the Knicks on a one-year deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Morris rejoins the Knicks after appearing in 49 games between the 76ers and Cavaliers last season, where he averaged 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game in the regular season. Should he make the final roster, the 35-year-old will likely serve as a depth piece for a team with strong depth at the forward spots.
Shines off bench in Game 5 loss
Morris finished with 25 points (10-13 FG, 5-6 3Pt, 0-1 FT), three rebounds and two steals over 33 minutes during Wednesday's 113-98 loss to Boston in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals. Morris provided the shorthanded Cavaliers with a much-needed boost off the bench in Game 5, leading all bench players in scoring while connecting on a team-high handful of threes in a bench-leading minute total. Morris recorded his best outing of the postseason Wednesday, surpassing double figures in scoring for the second time in these playoffs.
