MARCUS MORRIS SR. NEWS

Sitting out Thursday Morris (groin) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against Denver, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.

Impact Morris certainly appears to be the odd man out for the Clippers this season. Robert Covington seems to be the favorite to start at power forward, while Nicolas Batum and Terance Mann could get plenty of minutes there as well.

Won't play after all Morris (groin) is out for Tuesday's preseason game versus the Nuggets, Justin Russo of the 'Clip & Roll' podcast reports.

Impact It's unclear if Morris' groin injury has flared up or if the Clippers are simply holding him out of Tuesday's contest. While his next opportunity to suit up is Thursday's preseason rematch with Denver, the veteran forward isn't expected to see much playing time this season.

Set to be involved with team Morris is with the Clippers for training camp and isn't expected to step away from the team ahead of the regular season, Law Murray of The Athletic reports.

Impact Morris was nearly traded to the Wizards as part of a three-team deal during the offseason, but the move fell through. He spoke to the media at training camp Wednesday and said, "I'm here, I'm gonna do my job. Whatever they need me to do, I'm gonna do," Tomer Azarly of ClutchPoints.com reports. Morris' role declined last year, as he averaged 11.2 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.8 assists in 28.1 minutes per game over 65 appearances. While he'll hope to bounce back in terms of production, it wouldn't be surprising to see him with consistent minutes as long as the relationship between him and the team remains amicable.

Quiet in 33 minutes Morris finished Sunday's 134-124 overtime loss to the Nuggets with six points (3-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and one steal in 33 minutes.

Impact With Ivica Zubac (calf) sidelined, Morris saw a larger workload than usual Sunday, clearing 30 minutes for the first time since Feb. 10. He didn't make the most of his minutes though, and usage isn't easy to come by on this new-look Los Angeles rotation.

Quality fantasy line in return Morris (ribs) played 32 minutes and finished with 16 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt), five rebounds, three steals and two assists in Thursday's 106-105 loss to the Bucks.

Impact On a night in which both Paul George and Kawhi Leonard shot below 40 percent from the field, Morris' relative efficient was essential in keeping the Clippers competitive. Morris, who had missed the Clippers' previous four games with a rib contusion, took on a usual minutes load and came through with some rare production on the defensive end. Considering Morris hadn't recorded any steals in his prior seven appearances, fantasy managers should view the three-steal performance as a major outlier.
