Morris (foot) said that he doubts he'll play in Thursday's game versus the Pacers due to being in a lot of pain, Keith Pompey of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Morris is officially listed as probable for Thursday's contest with left foot plantar fasciitis, it sounds unlikely he will suit up. The veteran forward will go through shootaround and a pregame workout to determine his availability against Indiana.

Morris (foot) is probable for Thursday's game against the Pacers.
EDGE Analysis
Coach Nick Nurse said that Morris "should be OK" to play Thursday after the forward practiced Wednesday, and Morris' probable designation supports Nurse's optimism. Morris has come off the bench in his last six appearances, averaging 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds in 19.3 minutes per game.

Head coach Nick Nurse said Morris (foot) "should be OK" to play Thursday against the Pacers after practicing Wednesday, Sam DiGiovanni of ClutchPoints.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morris sat out Monday's 133-123 win over the Spurs due to a bout of plantar fasciitis in his left foot, but his presence in practice a day later suggests the issue isn't a particularly concerning one. Assuming he's cleared to play Thursday, Morris will likely settle back into a minor role in the Philadelphia rotation. Since moving back to the bench Jan. 10 after a spot start, Morris has averaged 19.3 minutes per game in six appearances before he missed Monday's contest.

Morris (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Spurs.
EDGE Analysis
Morris will miss his first game since Dec. 18 due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot. His next chance to suit up will come Thursday in Indiana. Furkan Korkmaz and Danuel House are candidates for extra minutes in Morris' absence.

Morris is questionable for Monday's game against the Spurs due to plantar fasciitis in his left foot.
EDGE Analysis
This is a new issue for Morris, but he's considered day-to-day. He's had a minor role for the 76ers, averaging 19.0 minutes in January with 6.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.0 three-pointers. The 76ers will likely use a committee approach to soak up Morris' minutes if he can't suit up.

Morris posted 17 points (4-9 FG, 3-8 3Pt, 6-6 FT), four rebounds and one assist across 26 minutes off the bench during Wednesday's 139-132 overtime loss to the Hawks.
EDGE Analysis
It was the best scoring effort of the season for the veteran forward, although he did need an extra five minutes of game time to get there. Morris has seen a bigger role in the Philly rotation of late and has seen his production creep up a bit, and he's scored in double digits each of the last four times he's played at least 20 minutes. Unless the team gets wracked by injuries however, Morris is unlikely to approach the 28.1 minutes a game he was seeing as recently as last season with the Clippers.
