MARKIEFF MORRIS NEWS

Listed as questionable Morris (hip) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's Game 2 against Atlanta.

Impact Morris was cleared to play in Sunday's Game 1 but didn't end up seeing the floor in the blowout win. He's apparently still dealing with some discomfort in his left hip, but the veteran is currently not a part of Miami's rotation, so his status won't have much of an effect on how Game 2 plays out.

Ready to go Sunday Morris (hip) will warm up with the intention of playing Sunday in Game 1 of the Heat's first-round playoff series with the Hawks.

Impact One of five players listed as questionable or probable in advance of the Heat's postseason opener, Morris should be good to go as long as his hip doesn't prove too bothersome during pregame warmups. Though he's ostensibly healthy heading into Game 1, Morris isn't a safe bet to be included in head coach Erik Spoelstra's rotation.

Questionable for Game 1 Morris (hip) is questionable for Sunday's Game 1 against the Hawks, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact A hip injury has kept Morris out for seven of the past eight games. If he's out for Game 1, more minutes could go to Caleb Martin, Duncan Robinson and Max Strus.

Expected to be available Morris (hip) is expected to be available Friday against the Hawks.

Questionable for Friday Morris (hip) is questionable for Friday's game against the Hawks.

Impact The Heat's injury report has been a complete mess of late, so it's very much unclear how many of the six players listed as questionable for Friday are truly injured. Morris was most recently listed as available for Tuesday's game against Charlotte but then did not end up dressing for the contest.

Available Tuesday Morris (hip) is available for Tuesday's game against the Hornets.

Impact As expected, Morris will play, but he'll come off the bench with the Heat's frontcourt healthy. Across his past seven appearances, he's averaged 7.4 points, 2.4 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 16.0 minutes.

Intends to play Tuesday Morris (hip) is expected to play Tuesday against the Hornets, Ira Winderman of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

Impact Morris is officially listed as questionable, but barring no setbacks in warmups, the veteran forward will likely be available for a second straight contest. With Jimmy Butler and P.J. Tucker both out, he drew his first start of the season during Sunday's win over the Raptors, but with both of the aforementioned forwards expected to be back in the lineup Tuesday, Morris will likely revert to his typical bench role.

Dealing with hip issue Morris is questionable for Tuesday's game against the Hornets due to a hip flexor strain, Anthony Chiang of the Miami Herald reports.

Impact Morris drew his first start of the season Sunday and totaled 10 points (4-10 FG, 2-6 3Pt) across 26 minutes. However, he presumably picked up the hip issue as well and is now one of six Heat players listed as questionable for Tuesday.

Making first start of season Morris will start Sunday's game against the Raptors.

Impact With Jimmy Butler (toe) and P.J. Tucker (knee) out, Morris will have an opportunity to make his first start of the season. The veteran forward missed significant time from November through mid-March, but he returned to action on March 12 and played in six straight games. However, prior to Sunday's contest, Morris had been a DNP-CD in each of Miami's last four games.

Barely touches the floor in loss Morris amassed zero points (0-2 FG) and one rebound over four minutes during Wednesday's 118-104 loss to the Warriors.

Impact Morris saw just four minutes in the loss, his lowest amount since returning from injury. Over that five-game span, he is averaging just 6.4 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.0 assists. To the surprise of no one, Morris has not been a fantasy commodity, and it's reasonably safe to assume nothing will change moving forward.
