Ruled out Friday Morris (hamstring) has been ruled out for Friday's game against the Knicks.

Impact Morris will miss his first game since Dec. 12 due to his sore right hamstring, and his next chance to suit up will be Monday against the Warriors. Delon Wright and Jordan Goodwin are candidates to see increased roles against New York.

Questionable Friday Morris is questionable for Friday's game against the Knicks due to right hamstring soreness.

Impact Morris hasn't missed any time since Dec. 12, and he's scored in double figures in six of his last nine appearances. He's dealing with a right hamstring issue ahead of Friday's matchup, and Delon Wright would likely see increased playing time if Morris is sidelined.

Kuzma hits late 3-pointer to lift Wizards past Bulls, 100-97

Kyle Kuzma broke a tie with a 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left and the Washington Wizards beat the Chicago Bulls 100-97 on Wednesday night

One assist shy of double-double Morris racked up 13 points (6-8 FG, 1-2 3Pt), one rebound and nine assists in 27 minutes during Monday's 132-112 loss to the Pelicans.

Impact It was an efficient night scoring and distributing for Morris, who added a team-high nine dimes. This was a typical line for the former Nugget, who is usually good for a handful of points and some solid assists, but other than that, he doesn't normally provide much peripheral production. In 36 games this season, he's averaging 9.9 points, 5.4 assists, 3.4 rebounds and 0.8 steals per contest.

Makes rare impact on boards Morris finished with eight points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-1 FT), eight rebounds, six assists and one steal across 30 minutes in Tuesday's 123-113 loss to the Bucks.

Impact The eight rebounds were a season high for Morris, who typically provides the bulk of this value in the assists column. That's likely to remain the case for the foreseeable future, though Morris could see a mild uptick in his scoring opportunities in the short term after Bradley Beal suffered yet another setback with his hamstring in his return from a three-game absence Tuesday. The Wizards haven't yet provided a timeline for Beal to resume playing, but he's most likely to miss at least the team's next game Friday in Oklahoma City.

First double-double of season Morris contributed 12 points (4-5 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 3-4 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal across 28 minutes during Friday's 119-100 victory over Orlando.

Impact It was another big night for Morris in the assist category, where his 10 dimes earned him his first double-double of the year. He's also scored in double digits in three of his last four outings and has maintained an impressively low turnover rate, averaging only 0.9 per game all season.

Mediocre performance in win Morris closed Tuesday's 116-111 victory over Philadelphia with eight points (3-9 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 2-2 FT), four rebounds and seven assists over 30 minutes.

Impact Morris didn't shoot particularly well, and he failed to add any defensive stats, but his seven assists led the team. The veteran guard's scoring has been very uneven all season, but he's usually good for some solid assist numbers and a steal or two. In 30 games this season, he's averaging 9.8 points, 5.1 assists, 3.3 rebounds and 0.8 steals per game.

DECEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect from line in victory Morris posted 16 points (4-7 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, five assists and three steals over 33 minutes during Friday's 125-111 win over the Kings.

Impact Morris made and attempted a season-high six free throws. The 27-year-old point guard is averaging 12.5 points, 4.9 assists, 2.2 rebounds and 1.2 steals in 33.3 minutes across his last 10 games.

DECEMBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Modest production in win Morris logged nine points (4-10 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 36 minutes during Tuesday's 113-110 win over Phoenix.

Impact Morris failed to reach 10 points for a second straight game but tied his season high with three steals, a mark he's reached just one other time. Since returning from a two-game absence due to a groin injury, Morris has averaged 12.0 points, 4.8 assists, 1.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals in 31.0 minutes over his past four games.

DECEMBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Looks good in return Morris (groin) closed with 20 points (7-11 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-3 FT), seven assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 141-128 loss to the Nuggets.

Impact Morris missed Washington's previous two contests due to a groin injury but didn't look rusty at all in his return. He knocked down four of seven three-point attempts en route to a season-high point total and chipped in seven assists while avoiding any turnovers. Morris won't have many scoring games like this, so his primary benefit to fantasy managers is in the assist department. He could take a step back in both areas, however, once Bradley Beal (hamstring) rejoins the Washington backcourt.

Good to go Wednesday Morris (groin) is available for Wednesday's matchup in Denver.

Impact Morris missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury and was deemed questionable for Wednesday, but he'll ultimately be available and figures to slide back into his usual starting point guard role. Across 23 appearances (all starts), the sixth-year guard is averaging 9.4 points, 5.2 assists and 3.5 rebounds in 27.9 minutes per game.

Questionable Wednesday Morris (groin) is questionable Wednesday against Denver.

Won't play Monday Morris (groin) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Nets, Josh Robbins of The Athletic reports.

Questionable Monday Morris (groin) is questionable to play on Monday against Brooklyn.

Out Saturday Morris (groin) will not play in Saturday's matchup against the Clippers.

Hands out eight assists Morris produced 17 points (7-13 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 1-1 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and one block over 37 minutes during Wednesday's 115-111 loss to the Bulls.

Impact Morris operated as the Wizards' primary playmaker with Bradley Beal (hamstring) sidelined and finished just two dimes away from posting a double-double. He's also scored in double digits in three straight outings for the first time in the current campaign. He is valuable enough to be rostered in all formats, but he'll experience an uptick in value as long as Beal remains out.

Minimal impact in loss Morris ended Wednesday's 113-107 loss to the Nets with four points (2-6 FG, 0-1 3Pt), four rebounds, three assists and one steal over 29 minutes.

Impact Morris failed to score over 10 points for the third time in his last four games. The 27-year-old guard hasn't even been to the free-throw line in his last five appearances. Morris' main fantasy value comes from the 5.1 assists he is averaging this season.

DECEMBER 1, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Excels in return to lineup Morris (ankle) contributed 16 points (6-8 FG, 4-5 3Pt), eight assists and three rebounds across 24 minutes Sunday in the Wizards' 130-121 loss to the Celtics.

Impact Though he split point-guard duties with Jordan Goodwin in his return from a three-game absence, Morris reclaimed a spot in the starting five and was the more productive player of the two. The 27-year-old should continue to be a strong contributor in the assists column even if he struggles to eclipse 30 minutes in most games, but Morris can't be counted on to produce this level of scoring on a regular basis. Before missing time with the sore ankle, Morris averaged 8.7 points on 42.2 percent shooting from the field in his first 16 games with Washington.
