Despite the transfer rumors that have been circulating about him for several weeks, Marcus Morris was not exchanged by his managers and, barring a last minute transfer (James Harden?), he will start the season in the colors of the Clipperswho have no intention of excluding him from their group.
A special situation, since the winger almost left for the Wizards at the end of June, before the exchange collapsed due, in particular, to the state of health of Malcolm Brogdon. However, Markieff’s brother is not resentful towards Los Angeles.
“ It’s part of the game, part of being a veteran “, he emphasized, on the sidelines of his franchise’s “training camp” in Hawaii. “ You move according to the rhythm. If [un transfert] happens, that’s how it is. If it doesn’t happen, that’s how it is. But I’m still a Clippers player, until I’m not. I’m here to help the team in any capacity. »
In competition with Nicolas Batum, Terance Mann, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin Jr. to accompany Russell Westbrook, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard And Ivica Zubac in the Clippers’ major five, Marcus Morris will receive $17.1 million in 2023/24 and he will be free in a year.
Aged 34, he is coming off a season averaging 11.2 points and 4.0 rebounds (36% from 3-point range) as a starter. However, he lost this status in the playoffs, in particular because of his skill in free fall.
