Solid showing in start Morris posted 13 points (3-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 7-8 FT), five assists and three rebounds in 28 minutes during Saturday's 125-105 loss to the Heat.

Impact Morris drew the start for Jamal Murray, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury. Morris was able to be aggressive and get his teammates involved but the short-handed Nuggets couldn't pull out the victory. It was the 10th time this season that Morris posted double-digit points and at least five dimes.

Starting Saturday Morris will get the start at point guard for Saturday's bubble opener against the Heat, Katy Winge of Altitude Sports reports.

Impact Morris figures to be in line for a heavy workload, asJamal Murray (hamstring), Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) will all be sidelined. He has averaged 10.9 points, 2.8 rebounds and 4.3 assists across 32.7 minutes in eight games as a starter this season.

AUGUST 1, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Available Saturday Morris (undisclosed) is available Saturday against the Heat.

Impact Morris has exited his quarantine period and is free to play. He may see more run than usual Saturday, as Jamal Murray (hamstring) is questionable while Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) are out.

JULY 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for restart opener Murray is questionable for Saturday's contest against the Heat due to left hamstring tightness.

Impact It's not exactly clear when Murray suffered the injury, but it may prevent him from playing in the restart opener. Gary Harris (hip) and Will Barton (knee) have already been ruled out, so if Murray is out as well, more minutes should funnel to Monte Morris, Torrey Craig and Michael Porter.

JULY 31, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

In bubble, under quarantine Morris (undisclosed) has arrived in Orlando and is under the league's mandated quarantine period, Harrison Wind of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Morris needs to stay in his room for 36-48 hours and pass two coronavirus tests before joining his teammates. It's unclear if he'll be available for Monday's scrimmage against the Magic.

JULY 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Arriving Sunday in Orlando Harris (undisclosed) and Torrey Craig (undisclosed) are expected to arrive Sunday evening in Orlando, Kendra Andrews of The Athletic reports.

Impact Both players will need to complete a 48-hour quarantine period upon their arrival before being cleared to join team workouts. Michael Porter, Monte Morris and PJ Dozier remain away from the team for unspecified reasons. Assuming everything goes smoothly, Harris should have enough practice time to prepare for Denver's first game against Miami on Aug. 1.

JULY 19, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Yet to join team Morris has yet to arrive in Orlando and remains absent from the Nuggets' workouts at the Walt Disney World complex, Kendra Andrews of The Athletic reports.

Impact Along with Morris, Gary Harris, Michael Porter, Torrey Craig and PJ Dozier have yet to join the Nuggets due to unspecified reasons, while star center Nikola Jokic (illness) -- who is believed to have fully recovered from an earlier bout with COVID-19 -- remains stuck in Serbia awaiting a flight to the United States. None of the missing players have formally opted out of the NBA season restart, so the expectation is that all will eventually arrive in Orlando. If Morris' absence lingers into next week, however, his status for the Nuggets' first game in Orlando on Aug. 1 versus the Heat could become more of a question mark.
