NBA veteran Marcus Morris signed an Exhibit 9 contract with the New York Knicks, the team announced Sunday.
This contract is a non-guaranteed training camp deal. If Morris were to make the Knicks’ roster, his deal would convert to a one-year non-guaranteed agreement. The Knicks would then have until the January deadline to decide if they want to keep or waive the veteran forward.
This will be the second stint in New York for Morris after he previously played 43 games with the Knicks before being traded to the Clippers during the 2019-2020 season. Last season, Morris played in 49 games with the Philadelphia 76ers and Cleveland Cavaliers, averaging 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds. He also appeared in nine postseason contests with Cleveland, which included one start in the first round against the Orlando Magic.
Morris also played for the Houston Rockets, Phoenix Suns, Detroit Pistons, and Boston Celtics throughout his 13-year NBA career. The 35-year-old averaged 12 points and 4.4 rebounds while shooting 40.3% from three during his 832 NBA games.
Morris’ twin brother, Markieff, recently inked a contract with the Dallas Mavericks.
