Ruled out Monday Morris (knee) has been ruled out Monday against the Grizzlies.

Impact Morris is usually outside the rotation anyways and hasn't played since March 13. There are minimal fantasy implications here.

Listed as questionable Morris (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Grizzlies.

Impact Morris has been dealing with a lingering knee injury and has been unavailable for the last two games. It's unclear whether he'll be able to suit up Monday, but his status shouldn't significantly impact the Mavericks' rotation.

Downgraded to out Morris (knee) won't play in Friday's game versus the Lakers.

Impact Morris has been downgraded from questionable to out Friday due to left knee soreness. His next chance to suit up is Monday's matchup with Memphis.

Iffy for Friday Morris (knee) is questionable for Friday's game against the Lakers.

Impact Morris has dealt with lingering knee pain as of late but has also failed to etch out a steady role in Jason Kidd's rotation. The veteran forward has not seen double-digit minutes since being traded to Dallas, so his potential absence would have little fantasy impact.

Out Wednesday Morris (knee) is out Wednesday against the Spurs, NBA writer Marc Stein reports.

Impact As expected, Morris' left knee soreness will prevent him from seeing the floor. He hasn't seen double-digit minutes since Jan. 26.

Unlikely to play Wednesday Morris ((knee) is listed as doubtful for Wednesday's game against the Spurs.

Impact Morris was a late addition to the injury report and likely won't suit up versus San Antonio. Luka Doncic (thigh) has already been ruled out, while Kyrie Irving (foot), Christian Wood (foot) and Tim Hardaway (calf) are all questionable, so Dallas could have another skeleton crew available Wednesday.

MARCH 15, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Season of disappointment continues Morris finished Monday's 104-88 loss to Memphis with four points (2-2 FG) in five minutes.

Impact Morris played fewer than 10 minutes for the eighth straight game, continuing to offer nothing in terms of tangible production. Given those eight games are spread across almost eight weeks, it is clear he is simply a depth piece for the Mavericks, utilized if and when the team is down on troops.

Available to debut Wednesday Morris (knee) is not on the injury report for Wednesday's game against the Clippers.

Impact Morris and Kyrie Irving are both clear from the injury report and are expected to debut Wednesday. Morris saw spot minutes in Brooklyn and is averaging just 3.6 points and 2.2 rebounds in 10.6 minutes. However, he could see a marginally increased role, given that Dallas has a thinner depth chart. Either way, he's not expected to be fantasy relevant in standard leagues.

Impact Though the Mavericks and Nets agreed in principle Sunday to a deal that sent Morris and Kyrie Irving to Dallas, the trade wasn't officially finalized until shortly before Monday's game against the Jazz, leaving both new acquisitions unavailable to make their debuts in that contest. Assuming Morris' sore left knee doesn't provide any complications in practice Tuesday, however, he should be in uniform Wednesday. Even so, Morris wasn't a rotation player in Brooklyn for much of the season, and his outlook for playing time in Dallas may not change much with all of Dwight Powell, Christian Wood and Reggie Bullock presumably ahead of him in the pecking order for frontcourt minutes.

Impact Morris hadn't been a regular part of the Brooklyn rotation this season, and though he joins a Dallas frontcourt that's comparatively lacking in depth, the 33-year-old isn't a lock see consistent minutes off the bench. At least in the short term, Morris may have a path to playing time on the second unit while Finney-Smith is out of the picture and while Davis Bertans (calf) and Maxi Kleber (hamstring) are both potentially out through the All-Star break. Christian Wood (thumb), meanwhile, has missed Dallas' last eight games but could be back in action as soon as Monday in Utah.

Contract guaranteed by Brooklyn The Nets guaranteed Morris' contract for the remainder of the season Friday, Michael Scotto of USA Today reports.

Impact Morris has been an inconsistent part of the Nets' rotation this year, but he'll remain with the club after he was one of three players on the team to have their contracts guaranteed. He's averaged 4.2 points and 2.3 rebounds in 11.4 minutes per game over 19 appearances to begin the season.

Good to go Wednesday Morris (illness) is available for Wednesday's game versus Chicago, Brian Lewis of the New York Post reports.

Impact Morris has been upgraded from probable to available Wednesday with a non-COVID illness. However, it is unlikely he'll see much playing time, as Morris hadn't played in the previous four games before being ruled out Monday.

Listed as probable Morris (illness) is probable for Wednesday's game against the Bulls, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Morris was a late addition to the injury report with an illness and ultimately missed Monday's win over the Spurs, but he'll likely return to game action Wednesday. However, he's fallen out of Brooklyn's rotation of late, so his expected presence shouldn't impact the Nets' game plan.

Downgraded to out Morris (illness) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against the Spurs.

Impact Morris was a late addition to the injury report Monday afternoon due to an illness, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Despite being healthy, the veteran forward hasn't seen the floor in four straight games, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact.

Now questionable Morris is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs with a non-COVID illness.

Impact Morris was a late addition to the injury report with an illness, leaving his availability for Monday up in the air. However, Morris has been out of the rotation for the past four contests, so his potential absence should not have much of an impact on the Nets' distribution of minutes.

Turns back the clock Saturday Morris accumulated 15 points (4-7 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists, one block and one steal over 32 minutes during Saturday's 136-133 victory over the Pacers.

Impact Morris entered the starting lineup Saturday, delivering his best fantasy line of the season. This was simply a case of being in the right place at the right time for Morris, cashing in on the fact the Nets opted to rest a host of key pieces. While he was tremendous for anyone who streamed him in, the joy is unlikely to continue beyond this performance.

Starting Saturday Morris will start Saturday's game against Indiana, Chris Milholen of NetsDaily.com reports.

Impact Morris will be one of many beneficiaries from the Nets resting their top seven scorers Saturday, as he will enter the starting lineup at the power forward position. Morris is worth some streaming appeal, considering the Nets have very few options in the frontcourt.
