Morris (ankle) tallied eight points (4-12 FG, 0-3 3Pt) and four assists in the 114-104 win over the Mad Ants on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's contest marked the second game in which Morris managed to played 25 minutes -- an impressive feat given the guard had missed 11 games with an ankle injury. Given Santa Cruz has been forced to trot out only nine active players most nights, it seems likely Morris will be heavily involved in the team's rotation for the foreseeable future.

Morris (ankle) did not play in Friday's game against the Blue.
EDGE Analysis
We finally figured out what has kept Morris on the shelf for so long, but unfortunately it's unclear when he'll be able to return. He's only played 18 games with Santa Cruz this season, missing the last 10 contests overall.

Morris (undisclosed) did not play in the 97-77 win over the Wolves on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Damion Lee and Will Cherry acted as the starting backcourt for Santa Cruz with Morris sidelined. The G League veteran is averaging 29.8 minutes across 15 games this season, but he's seen his points (15.7) and rebounds (3.3) dip from his career averages.

Morris was waived by the Pelicans on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Morris couldn't do enough to earn a spot on the Pelicans through the preseason. He'll likely turn to the G-League or head overseas to find run. He hasn't seen NBA minutes since the 2014-15 season.

Morris was waived by the Nets on Monday.
The move prevents Morris' deal from becoming guaranteed in advance of Wednesday's deadline. Morris appeared in 38 games for the Nets last season, averaging 2.2 points and 1.3 assists in fewer than eight minutes per game. The reserve guard has spent time with five NBA teams since entering the league in 2011, and he'll be in search of another new home this summer.

Morris appeared in 38 games for the Nets in 2014-15, averaging 2.2 points and1.3 assists in 7.9 minutes per game.
The former Michigan standout signed on with the Nets in December, filling the roster spot vacated after the team dealt Andrei Kirilenko and Jorge Gutierrez. Morris saw the vast majority of his minutes in garbage time, but he made a cameo in the rotation while Deron Williams was injured in January. Morris played double-digit minutes in nine January games, averaging 4.1 points and 1.7 assists in 12.5 minutes per game for the month. He shot just 35.9 percent from the field and 22.7 percent from three, however. Upon Williams' return, Morris found himself glued to the bench, and he would remain in that role through the end of the regular season and into the playoffs. Heading into the offseason, Morris remains under contract with the Nets, but his deal is only partially guaranteed for next season. That means he'll have a shot to make the opening night roster, though he's among the top candidates to be waived if a roster spot needs to be opened up.

Morris (illness) was available off the bench against the Hawks in Game 2 on Wednesday but wasn't deployed onto the court.
Morris was dealing with an illness ahead of the playoffs but has apparently returned to health and should be available off the bench for coach Lionel Hollins moving forward. Although, the former Wolverine had a limited role on the team in the regular season and he's not expected to see much of the court in the playoffs, if at all.

Morris (illness) returned to practice Saturday but it's still unclear if he'll be available for Game 1 on Sunday against the Hawks, the New York Post reports.
Morris was dealing with an illness but his return to practice likely signifies that he'll be available off the bench for coach Lionel Hollins on Sunday. That said, he only averaged 7.9 minutes on the court over 38 games this season and won't likely see playing time against the Hawks unless one of the games in their series becomes lopsided.

Morris (illness) did not practice Friday.
Morris is dealing with an illness and should be considered questionable for Game 1 against the Hawks on Sunday. He figures to recover in time to play, though he won't have a major role in the postseason.

Morris signed with the Nets on Thursday, Alex Raskin of the Wall Street Journal reports.
The team parted ways with Jorge Gutierrez on Thursday, sending him to the 76ers in a trade that brought Brandon Davies to Brooklyn. Andrei Kirilenko was also involved in that deal, and it appears Morris has been tabbed as the player to take Kirilenko's spot on the roster. Morris, a former standout at Michigan, was waived by the Blazers at the end of training camp and is unlikely to hold any significant fantasy value.
