Marcus Morris Sr.'s Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Veteran forward Marcus Morris Sr. has signed an Exhibit 9 contract with the New York Knicks. The 35-year-old will try to battle out a roster spot in training camp to extend his NBA career into a 14th year. Morris Sr. split last season between Philadelphia and Cleveland, averaging 6.4 points in 16.7 minutes. The Philadelphia native has remained a savvy scorer despite being on the wrong side of 30. However, if he makes the team, Morris Sr. will only be seen as a depth piece in New York and won't get enough action in normal circumstances to make an impact in fantasy basketball.

Philadelphia 76ers forwards Marcus Morris Sr. and Furkan Korkmaz have been dealt to the Indiana Pacers in a money-saving type of move. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pacers traded away Buddy Hield for Morris, Korkmaz, and three second-round picks because they were unable to keep Hield and Obi Toppin while staying under the cap limit. It's unclear how prominent of a role Morris and Korkmaz will play, but it seems that Morris won't be receiving the same amount of minutes as he did in Philadelphia. Neither one of them are instant adds after joining their new team, so fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see type of approach to find out where they'll fall in the rotation.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's clash with Brooklyn. The veteran could be out for a third game in a row due to left foot pain. Morris Sr. has recently played a much bigger role in Philadelphia's plans due to Joel Embiid's (knee) injury troubles. He will have his next chance to return on Monday versus Dallas if he can't play on Saturday. Mo Bamba and Kenyon Martin Jr. have been the main frontcourt backups with Morris Sr. out. They haven't been very effective players from a fantasy perspective.

Philadelphia 76ers forward/center Marcus Morris Sr. (foot) looks ready to return on Saturday against the Nuggets, as the team considers him probable for the game. The veteran has sat out a pair of contests with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Morris has averaged 16.3 minutes off the bench this season, scoring 6.3 points while grabbing 2.9 rebounds. He shouldn't be on fantasy managers' radars, but the injury-hit Sixers will be happy to get a healthy body back.
