• Knicks' Marcus Morris: Reaches deal with Knicks

  6D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Morris agreed Thursday with the Knicks on a one-year, $15 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. After initially agreeing to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Spurs on July 6, Morris reopened his free agency when it became apparent the Knicks would have more salary-cap space available than initially anticipated. Morris will forgo an extra year of security for a higher annual salary in New York, where he'll be forced to fight for minutes in a deep collection of forwards that includes second-year player Kevin Knox and free-agent pickups Julius Randle, Bobby Portis, Taj Gibson, Wayne Ellington and Reggie Bullock. Due to the high amount of competition, Morris will likely struggle to exceed the 27.9 minutes per game he averaged in Boston in 2018-19.

• Spurs' Marcus Morris: Reconsidering deal with Spurs

  8D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Morris, who agreed to a two-year, $20 million deal with the Spurs, is now considering signing with the Knicks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. With the Knicks likely re-working their two-year, $21 million agreement with Reggie Bullock, they may have some extra cap space open to sign Morris. Should Morris end up in New York, he would be the fourth forward they sign in free agency this season, which could result in him being used more on the wing given the Knicks lack of quality depth at the small forward position. Expect Morris' destination to be worked out in the next couple of days.

• Spurs' Marcus Morris: Latches on with Spurs

  11D ago • By RotoWire Staff

  Morris agreed Saturday with the Spurs on a two-year, $20 million contract, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports. Morris started 53 of his 75 appearances with the Celtics last season, posting 13.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists in 27.9 minutes. While joining the Spurs, he'll likely slot in a reserve at both forward spots, though it's possible he'll draw the start in certain circumstances. The Spurs already have DeMar DeRozan, Rudy Gay, LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMarre Carroll on hand to fill minutes at forward, making it likely that Morris notices a decreased role in his first year in San Antonio.

• Celtics' Marcus Morris: Will come off bench in Game 5

  05/09/2019 • By RotoWire Staff

  Morris will come off the bench for Wednesday's Game 5 against the Celtics, Mark Murphy of the Boston Herald reports. Morris will be replaced in the starting lineup by Aron Baynes. While the veteran forward's had some success against Milwaukee, averaging 15.0 points and 9.0 rebounds in 29.8 minutes over the first four second-round contests, his defense has been inadequate. Considering the lineup change, expect Morris to receive less run than usual as long as Baynes remains in the starting-five.
