Marcus Morris Sr. News
Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. is expected to remain a starter for the team in the 2023-24 campaign. Law Murray of The Athletic has noted that the 12-year veteran will remain in the starting unit until he is "moved or declared replaced." The Clippers tried to trade Morris Sr. in the summer, and he was part of an attempted three-team trade involving Kristaps Porzingis going to Boston before it fell apart. The 34-year-old is entering the final season of his contract and will be paid $17.1 million for his services in 2023-24.
According to Jared Weiss of The Athletic, the Los Angeles Clippers are "looking for a new home" for Marcus Morris Sr. The veteran has had a largely effective three-and-a-half seasons with the team, but his form dipped a bit in 2022-23 and Morris Sr. even ended up getting moved to the bench. The 33-year-old was reportedly unhappy with the decision, so it's possible Morris Sr. himself is hoping for a change of scenery as well. He's on an expiring contract worth a little over $17 million in 2023-24.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. was reportedly unhappy with his role. More specifically, the Clippers' decision to bench him in favor of Nicolas Batum at the end of the year. Even though the forward has more left in the tank, he saw a decline in production last season. This was one of the reasons that sparked the late-season lineup change. Morris averaged 11.2 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 1.8 assists in 65 games last season. The Clippers will look for ways to improve moving ahead, but it could be very difficult. They are already in a tough spot financially, so they could look to move Morris, who is due $17.1 million in 2023-24.
Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (back) isn't on the injury report ahead of the series opener against Phoenix. Head coach Ty Lue reported on Friday that Morris is healthy. However, his omission from the injury report confirms he'll be available for Game 1. With that said, the 33-year-old hasn't played since the end of March, so he may be limited. Then again, even if Morris plays fewer minutes than usual, he's still worthy of DFS consideration on Sunday.
