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.

Back to bench Morris won't start Sunday's Game 7 against the Magic, Serena Winters of Bally Sports Cleveland reports.

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. Coach J.B. Bickerstaff has reinserted Isaac Okoro into the starting lineup in place of Morris for the decisive Game 7. In Game 5, Morris came off the bench and posted 12 points (4-9 FG) in 26 minutes.

Given starting nod, for some reason Morris registered two points (1-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), eight rebounds and two assists across 27 minutes during Friday's 103-96 loss to Orlando in Game 6 of the first round of the Eastern...

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.

Gets starting nod Morris is in the starting five for Friday's Game 6 agains the Magic.

Impact Morris will replace Isaac Okoro in the starting lineup Friday with Jarret Allen (ribs) out. Morris will make his first start of the season for Cleveland but averaged 11.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 2.0 assists in 24.6 minutes across his seven starting appearances in 2023-24 for Philadelphia.

Steps up for Cleveland Morris finished Tuesday's 104-103 victory over Orlando in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs with 12 points (4-9 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), three rebounds and...

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.

Cavs to sign Marcus Morris Sr. to rest-of-season contract The veteran has made an impression during his short time with the Cavs.

MARCH 28, 2024 • CLEVELAND.COM

Set to remain in Cleveland The Cavaliers are planning to sign Morris to a rest of season contract Thursday, Chris Fedor of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

Impact Morris' 10-day contract with Cleveland recently expired, but the veteran forward is set to remain with the team for the remainder of 2023-24. Across his five appearances with the Cavaliers, Morris is averaging 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds and 1.2 assists in 18.2 minutes.

Deal with Cleveland expires Morris became a free agent Thursday after his 10-day contract with the Cavaliers expired, Keith Smith of Spotrac.com reports.

Impact Cleveland has the ability to re-sign Morris to a second 10-day deal, though it's unclear if the team has any desire to keep him around. Over the course of his first 10-day pact, Morris appeared in five games and averaged 7.8 points, 3.0 rebounds, 1.4 three-pointers and 1.2 assists in 18.2 minutes per contest, but he fell out of the rotation in Wednesday's 118-111 loss to the Hornets while Max Strus (knee) made his return from a 12-game absence.

Hits showers early Morris was ejected from Monday's game against the Hornets after being assessed a Flagrant 2 foul, Evan Dammarell of FearTheSword.com reports. He had three points (1-2 FG, 1-1 3Pt)...

Impact Morris picked up the foul after making what was deemed unnecessary contact with Nick Richards, and he was immediately ejected from the contest. He failed to contribute much before getting tossed.

Delivers 11 points off bench Morris provided 11 points (4-10 FG, 1-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 26 minutes during Friday's 104-91 loss to the Timberwolves.

Impact Morris wasn't sharp with his shooting and made just one of his five attempts from beyond the arc, but he had enough volume to score in double digits, making it the second time he reached that mark in his first three games with Cleveland. He should continue to have a role off the bench with the Cavs, especially given how depleted their frontcourt is at the moment, but Morris should be left on the wire in most leagues outside of deep formats.

Debuts with 14 points Morris contributed 14 points (5-7 FG, 4-5 3Pt) and four rebounds across 20 minutes during Monday's 108-103 victory over the Pacers.

Impact This was a terrific debut for Morris, and the Cavaliers gave him a solid role right away. Given the amount of injuries in Cleveland, that could continue in the short term. Morris is worth monitoring closely in deeper fantasy formats.
