  • Morris is not in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason game against the Lakers. The Suns will begin their preseason finale with their expected starting lineup, so Morris will head back to the bench to make way for Tyus Jones. Morris should see minutes in the backcourt as a backup point guard, though his fantasy value should be minimal as long as Jones stays healthy.

  • Morris delivered 20 points (7-12 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 2-2 FT), two rebounds, seven assists and two steals across 26 minutes in Sunday's 118-114 preseason win over the Nuggets. Morris got the start Sunday in place of Tyus Jones, as the Suns decided to rest their key players with the regular season right around the corner. Even though Morris took advantage of this opportunity to deliver a solid showing Sunday, he's not expected to carve a meaningful role for the Suns once the regular season begins, at least from a fantasy perspective.

  • Morris will start Sunday's preseason game against the Nuggets, Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic reports. Morris will enter the starting lineup due to Phoenix's starting five getting the night off. Morris could work his way into the rotation behind Tyus Jones, but the ball dominance of the team's top players limits the fantasy relevance of all of the team's role players, let alone one in Morris' situation.

  • Morris and the Suns agreed to a one-year, $2.8 million contract Tuesday, Gerald Bourguet of GoPHNX.com reports. The Suns were in need of cost-effective backups behind their expensive core of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, and Morris is known around the league as a fairly reliable option reserve point guard. The 29-year-old split the 2023-24 campaign between Detroit and Minnesota, averaging 5.0 points, 2.1 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.8 three-pointers in 14.4 minutes over 33 regular-season contests.

  • Morris averaged 2.3 points, 1.0 assists and 0.7 rebounds across 7.6 minutes in nine playoff appearances. Morris was acquired by the Timberwolves on Feb. 7 via trade and averaged 5.1 points, 2.3 assists, 1.7 rebounds and 0.7 steals in 27 regular-season games with Minnesota. The 28-year-old is an unrestricted free agent, and he was a non-factor in the series against Dallas while dealing with a minor finger issue.
