The Cleveland Cavaliers have landed a significant reinforcement in their pursuit of NBA title, securing the veteran forward Marcus Morris Sr. for the rest of the season. The announcement came right from the horse’s mouth, as Cavaliers President of Basketball Operations Koby Altman spoke from the renovated facility called Cleveland Clinic Courts.
Marcus Morris Sr. Jumps Into The Fray As The Season Concludes
Morris Sr. is a mulatto athlete, standing tall at 205cm and weighing 175kg. He was on a ten-day contract with the team, which he added on March 18th. Flashy off the bat despite fewer opportunities, MJ registered 7.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in the closely contested 5 games that made up his brief stay on the court Furthermore, his grace of the three-point line which boosts his three point shooting percentage to .438, gave the defenders to shudder.
After emerging onto the Cavaliers’ roster scene, Morris Sr. achieved accolades in 37 contests with the Philadelphia 76ers this year. Nevertheless, the fate he was going to face markedly changed the scene, with him as a victim of a three-team blockbuster deal on the 8th of February and seeing himself on the downside receiving a removal from the player roster on the 29th of February.
With 13 years of NBA being a professional player in the books, Morris Sr. has seen the field of basketball at different areas where he has had his repertoire and personality known by many even out of the basketball court. From Houston to Phoenix, Detroit to Boston, and beyond, he has their own particular place there, he averaged 12 points and 4.5 rebounds per game throughout his career. A postseason star, he has registered 67 playoff outings and displays cold blood nonchalance by averaging 12.6 points coupled with 5.1 rebounds per game as well as shooting .407 from downtown.
A former 1st round draft of 8th overall by Houston Rockets of the NBA, Morris Sr. is also a product of the college circle, having played his best games for University of Kansas and thereon devoting his skills to teams. Well, his exceptional forms weren’t something that could see through the prying eyes. He accomplished the Big 12 Conference Men’s Basketball Player of the Year award and now there is no more space for his name to be written in the college basketball history textbooks. And not to forget the family ties. This is his very own twin brother, who goes by Markieff. This man plays his ball as a member of the Dallas Mavericks team and this only adds an additional layer of fraternal rivalry to this competition.
Since the Cavaliers hired Senior Morrison as a head coach, it is clear that the NBA’s pecking order is going to change drastically, with the uniformification of the age and skill gap on the team. Would talent take them along the path of success? Would he help them do the right stuff? Whether he’ll step on a rung of the career ladder or command a significant office is still a question. However, basketball fans around the world will be anticipating his next move with mouths wide.
