7 months agoVeteran forward
Marcus Morris Sr. remains a free agent in early August, but he should have no problems landing a new deal for the upcoming season. According to Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer, six teams are interested in Morris Sr.'s services. Pompey notes that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers have the "best chances" to land the well-traveled veteran, who turns 35 in four weeks' time. Morris Sr. started last season with his hometown 76ers and finished it with the Cavaliers. He played a limited role on both teams, averaging 6.4 points in 16.7 minutes. Morris Sr. will likely be in a similar role next season, wherever he lands.

Marcus Morris Sr. and
Furkan Korkmaz have been dealt to the Indiana Pacers in a money-saving type of move. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Pacers traded away
Buddy Hield for Morris, Korkmaz, and three second-round picks because they were unable to keep Hield and
Obi Toppin while staying under the cap limit. It's unclear how prominent of a role Morris and Korkmaz will play, but it seems that Morris won't be receiving the same amount of minutes as he did in Philadelphia. Neither one of them are instant adds after joining their new team, so fantasy managers can take a wait-and-see type of approach to find out where they'll fall in the rotation.

Marcus Morris Sr. (foot) is listed as questionable for Saturday's clash with Brooklyn. The veteran could be out for a third game in a row due to left foot pain. Morris Sr. has recently played a much bigger role in Philadelphia's plans due to
Joel Embiid's (knee) injury troubles. He will have his next chance to return on Monday versus Dallas if he can't play on Saturday.
Mo Bamba and
Kenyon Martin Jr. have been the main frontcourt backups with Morris Sr. out. They haven't been very effective players from a fantasy perspective.

Marcus Morris Sr. (foot) looks ready to return on Saturday against the Nuggets, as the team considers him probable for the game. The veteran has sat out a pair of contests with plantar fasciitis in his left foot. Morris has averaged 16.3 minutes off the bench this season, scoring 6.3 points while grabbing 2.9 rebounds. He shouldn't be on fantasy managers' radars, but the injury-hit Sixers will be happy to get a healthy body back.
