Monte Morris Latest News
Intends to sign with Suns
Morris and the Suns agreed to a one-year, veteran minimum deal worth $2.8 million Tuesday, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. The Suns need cheap backups behind their expensive core of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, and Morris is known around the league as a fairly reliable option at the backup guard spot. The 29-year-old spent the end of last year in Minnesota after being traded by the Pistons on Feb. 7. He averaged 5.1 points, 2.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 27 regular-season games for the Timberwolves.
Non-factor in playoff run
Morris averaged 2.3 points, 1.0 assists and 0.7 rebounds across 7.6 minutes in nine playoff appearances. Morris was acquired by the Timberwolves on Feb. 7 via trade and averaged 5.1 points, 2.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 27 regular-season games with Minnesota. The 28-year-old is an unrestricted free agent, and he was a non-factor in the series against Dallas while dealing with a minor finger issue.
Not listed on injury report
Morris (finger) is not on the injury report for Friday's Game 3 matchup with Denver. Morris exited Game 2 with a minor finger issue and did not return, but that won't impact his status for Game 3. He should again see limited minutes behind Mike Conley on Friday night.
Exits with finger injury
Morris won't return to Monday's Game 2 against the Nuggets due to a right index finger sprain. Morris left the game in the second half and was quickly ruled out for the remainder of the matchup. He logged eight minutes prior to departing, so his absence shouldn't impact Minnesota's rotation much.
Muted role Friday
Morris produced two points (1-2 FG, 0-1 3Pt) and two rebounds in 11 minutes during Friday's 111-98 win over the Nuggets. Morris managed just 11 minutes in the win, continuing to play a limited role for his new team. While he does provide the Timberwolves with depth at the point guard position, there is little chance of him appearing on the fantasy radar. Even in starters' minutes, Morris has struggled to be anything more than a streaming consideration. Playing as the second or third-string point guard makes him a non-factor.
Good to go Monday
Morris (hamstring) is active Monday versus Utah. Morris and Kyle Anderson (shoulder) have both been cleared for action, leaving Rudy Gobert (ribs) and Karl-Anthony Towns (knee) as the only absences for Minnesota on Monday. Morris shouldn't be expected to pick up a substantial role after logging just 10 minutes in his return to action Saturday after a three-game absence due to his problematic hamstring.
Iffy for Monday
Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Jazz. Morris returned to the lineup Saturday after missing the team's last three games due to a hamstring strain that has his status up in the air Monday. The Timberwolves will likely continue to take a conservative approach with Morris, easing him back into action. Even if he is cleared to play, it would be surprising if he sees ample playing time.
Light run in return
Morris (hamstring) tallied two points (1-1 FG) in 10 minutes off the bench in Saturday's 119-100 win over the Jazz. Morris was eased back into the mix after missing the Timberwolves' last three games due to a hamstring strain. Though he had been playing ahead of Jordan McLaughlin as the top backup to starting point guard Mike Conley prior to suffering his injury, Morris actually saw fewer minutes Saturday than McLaughlin (16 minutes), who picked up some run at both guard spots.
Cleared for Saturday
Morris (hamstring) is good to go for Saturday's game against the Jazz. Morris is officially back after missing the past three games for Minnesota. With this news, Morris is likely to take his backup point guard minutes back from Jordan McLaughlin.
