The Cleveland Cavaliers have added some much-needed depth to their roster by signing forward Marcus Morris Sr. to a 10-day contract. The move comes as the team struggles with injuries to key players, including Evan Mobley, Max Strus, and Dean Wade.
Morris, who previously played for the Philadelphia 76ers and San Antonio Spurs this season, agreed to a buyout with the Spurs before joining the Cavaliers. The 34-year-old, who was waived on Feb. 29, remains eligible for the postseason.
Meanwhile, All-Star Donovan Mitchell of the Utah Jazz continues to be sidelined with a left knee bruise. Mitchell, who received a platelet-rich plasma injection two weeks ago, will miss Monday’s game against the Indiana Pacers and could sit out more games for rest.
Morris, known for his toughness on the court, is expected to provide valuable support to the Cavaliers during this challenging time. The 13-year veteran has averaged 12.1 points and 4.5 rebounds throughout his career and was originally drafted by the Houston Rockets in 2011 after playing college basketball at Kansas.
With Morris’s arrival, the Cavaliers are hoping to weather the storm of injuries and remain competitive in the Eastern Conference. Fans will be eager to see how Morris’s experience and skillset will contribute to the team’s success as they push towards the playoffs.
