It’s November 8, on the Denver side. In the middle of the game. Markieff Morris places a nasty nudge in the ribs of Nikola Jokic. The 2021 MVP wobbles, turns around and goes to swing the Heat strong winger, who collapses to the ground. Initially, we talk about an absence of about ten matches.
Four months later, we still haven’t seen Marcus’ brother. Hit in the neck after this “whiplash”, Markieff resumed training a few weeks ago, and he recently appeared in the warm-up without ever being registered on the score sheet.
According to PA, he finally received the green light to play again, and his return to competition is scheduled for Saturday against Wolves, Tuesday against Detroit or Friday against the Thunder. The Heat are playing three games in a row at home, and it’s ideal for a recovery. According to the American press agency, Morris had to go through the hands of three doctors sent by the NBA to obtain this green light.
Before this clash with Jokic, Morris had played 10 matches for 7.7 points on average. NBA champion with the Lakers in 2020, precisely against the Heat, he will resume his place in the racket alongside Bam Adebayo, as PJ Tucker’s understudy. On paper, he is the only real strong winger in the squad, and he could have a role to play at the end of the season.
