The Thunder has officially signed free agent Markieff Morris, the team announced Wednesday.
The power forward was waived by the Pelicans after being traded to New Orleans by Washington on Feb. 7. The move allowed Morris to sign with a playoff contender. Morris averaged 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds in Washington this season but last played on Dec. 26 due to a neck injury. Morris was reportedly cleared to play earlier this month.
“We’re a good group,” Thunder forward Paul George said last Thursday, after The Athletic’s Shams Charania reported that Morris had agreed to sign with OKC.
