The extension of Markieff Morris is following its course and its officialization would be imminent, according to what we are to believe. Shams Charania. The Athletic insider got confirmation from the player's agent, Yony Noy. Although no details of the deal have leaked yet, we're likely to be looking at a one-year deal for the veteran minimum.
Arriving in February 2023 in the deal that brought Kyrie Irving to Dallas, Marcus' twin has only played 35 games with the Mavericks, including one playoff game, in the NBA Finals against Boston. Despite his relative usefulness on the court, his role as a mentor would be appreciated by the staff of the Texan franchise and its locker room, so much so that the 35-year-old veteran should once again be part of the game for the 2024-2025 season.
