The Suns suspended Markieff Morris two games for throwing a towel at coach Jeff Hornacek.
Morris:
My frustration got the best of me last night. It won't happen again. I apologize to Jeff. My teammates told me I hit coach with the towel.

In no way was that towel intended for him. I just want to help my team win so much. That's my focus moving forward. #Foe

Only Morris knows his intention. Without video, it’s difficult for us even to guess it.
But we know he lost control of his emotions to the point he didn’t stop himself from hitting his coach with a towel. Though a lesser offense, that’s still obviously problematic.
Morris earned himself no benefit of the doubt from the Suns after his sulking and implied trade demands last offseason.
Add his crummy play on the court, and this is a difficult situation to resolve.
