The 6-foot-9 forward arrived late to camp after he and his twin brother Markieff were both acquitted of assault charges stemming from an incident in Phoenix in 2015.
And soon after he showed up, Marcus was bothered by knee soreness that would limit his availability and in doing so, his overall effectiveness.

The Marcus Morris that will step on the court for the team’s first practice on Sept. 25 is in a much better place than he was a year ago this time.
But what’s a realistic expectation from the veteran forward, who, like a number of his teammates, will be a free agent in the summer of 2019?
