Marcus Morris says year in Boston his favorite as a professional so far

Well-traveled NBA veteran Marcus Morris thinks he’s found a home with the Boston Celtics.

“Playing in Boston is special. I’ve been around a lot of places, but Boston has definitely been my favorite,” Morris, a 28-year-old former University of Kansas forward, said Monday during a season-ending “exit interview” with Boston media the day after the Celtics’ 87-79 loss to Cleveland in game 7 of the NBA’s Eastern Conference finals in Boston.

The 6-foot-9, 235-pound Morris — he was the Big 12 player of the year in 2010-11 — joined the Celtics this season after stints with Houston, Phoenix and Detroit.
