Marcus Morris surprised Spurs controversy keeps escalating

Knicks new forward Marcus Morris said he did not expect legendary Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to call him out earlier this week for reneging on his verbal commitment, but admitted he felt bad how it played out.

“I was very surprised but I have nothing but respect for Pop,” Morris said after Thursday’s training camp practice. “Obviously, they made a big move and on my side things weren’t clear for me so I made a decision based on what I knew and for my family. I hope nothing but the best going forward this season. I’m in New York now.
