Marcus Morris Sr. was acquired last season as a clear upgrade, the main man for the New York Knicks certainly joining the LA Clippers as a starting-caliber player.
But this season, he’s been part of the reserve crew, as an injury limited him in preseason and newcomer Nicolas Batum’s hot start to his Clippers tenure left Morris a bench option, something Morris embraced.
However, with the Clippers hitting an inconsistent patch and Batum not burying a quick 10 points to open game after game anymore, it may be Morris’ time in the starting lineup moving forward.
