Arrived with Kyrie Irving in Dallas, Markieff Morris should extend the adventure on the Mavericks side. The interior has in any case ensured on X that he would indeed make his return to the season's finalist, who has not yet confirmed the information.I will be back ” he shouted in response to a fan who demanded a full second season of “Keef” in Texas.
And one Morris could follow another, as Markieff has called on his brother Marcus to also join Jason Kidd's squad. I want my brother to come with me ” he claimed. A free agent after a season of being bounced from the Sixers to the Spurs, then to the Cavaliers, the winger is once again being followed by Philadelphia, in search of a rotation player on the wings after the departures of Nicolas Batum and Robert Covington.
Behind rookies Klay Thompson and Naji Marshall, there is also room at the 3 position in Dallas. If the Mavs were to recruit the Morris twins, they would have to make room since 13 players are already under contract, not counting guard AJ Lawson on a non-guaranteed contract, Alex Fudge signed to a “two-way contract” and awaiting a possible lease for Frenchman Melvin Ajinça, drafted in the second round.
Markieff Morris has mostly played the role of a valuable veteran in the locker room, rather than an indispensable player in Luka Doncic's team. The proof is in his 26 games, for an average of 8 minutes. Marcus Morris, for his part, could still provide some services, he who was still averaging 11.2 points as a starter for the Clippers in 2022-2023.
