PHOENIX (AP) – A Maricopa County grand jury has indicted the Phoenix Suns’ Marcus and Markieff Morris on felony aggravated assault charges for allegedly beating a man outside a city recreation center in January.
According to a Phoenix police report, Erik Hood said five people including the Morris brothers repeatedly punched and kicked him.
Police say it is alleged that Hood, 36, was assaulted for sending an inappropriate text message to the Morris brothers’ mother.
The names of the other three men are redacted in court documents released Tuesday.
The 6-foot-9 twins became teammates in 2013 when Marcus was traded to the Suns.
