Signs with New York Marcus Morris will join the Knicks on a one-year deal, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Impact Morris rejoins the Knicks after appearing in 49 games between the 76ers and Cavaliers last season where he averaged 6.4 points and 2.7 rebounds in 16.7 minutes per game. Should he make the final roster, the 35-year-old will likely serve as a depth piece for a team with strong depth at the forward spots.

Impact Morris provided the shorthanded Cavaliers with a much-needed boost off the bench in Game 5, leading all bench players in scoring while connecting on a team-high handful of threes in a bench-leading minute total. Morris recorded his best outing of the postseason Wednesday, surpassing double figures in scoring for the second time of the playoffs.

Impact With Jarrett Allen (hip) sidelined, Morris got a chance in the starting unit during Game 6 but finished with just two points (1-7 FG) and eight rebounds in 27 minutes during a disappointing loss.

Impact Morris played 27 minutes as the starting power forward in the Game 6 loss. Any time he spends on the floor feels like too much, highlighted by his lack of production. The Cavaliers will be hoping Jarrett Allen can overcome his rib injury and get back on the floor for what is a must-win game Sunday.

Impact The Cavaliers were missing Jarrett Allen (ribs), and while Isaac Okoro drew the start, Morris stepped into the rotation and made a massive impact. Morris had a total of 15 minutes in this series prior to Tuesday, so credit to him for staying ready. For now, it remains unclear if Allen will be ready to return for Game 6 in Orlando on Friday.
