Morris will enter the first unit for Wednesday's game against Minnesota.
EDGE Analysis
After seeing fewer than 10 minutes in each of Philadelphia's past four games, Morris will be thrust into the starting lineup with Joel Embiid (hip) sidelined. The starting five features Morris, Nicolas Batum, Tobias Harris, Tyrese Maxey and De'Anthony Melton. While he'll certainly see more action than he has recently, fantasy managers shouldn't expect Morris to handle 30 minutes.

Morris (undisclosed) isn't on the injury report for Saturday's game versus the Suns.
EDGE Analysis
Morris is seemingly available Saturday but didn't suit up in Thursday's contest despite not being on the injury report due to still being in "ramp-up mode after being traded to Philadelphia. Therefore, it seems unlikely Morris will receive significant playing time Saturday.

Coach Nick Nurse said Friday that Morris (undisclosed) is still in "ramp-up" mode after the forward didn't suit up for Thursday's matchup against Raptors, Gina Mizell of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morris wasn't on the injury report for Thursday's game, suggesting he'd suit up, but he was ultimately unavailable. It's unclear if Morris is dealing with an injury or if he's still just getting acclimated to his new team. Either way, his next chance to suit up will come Saturday against the Suns.

Morris (trade pending) isn't listed on the injury report for Thursday's game against the Raptors.
EDGE Analysis
Morris, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin will all be available for their first game with the 76ers this season, but Nicolas Batum (personal) won't be. Morris was out of the rotation in Los Angeles, but it's unclear what his role will be with Philadelphia.

Morris (personal), Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington and Kenyon Martin were acquired by the 76ers on Tuesday in a three-team deal that sent James Harden, P.J. Tucker and Filip Petrusev to the Clippers, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reports. The 76ers also acquired first-round draft picks in 2026 and 2028, 2024 and 2029 second-round draft picks and the right to a first-round pick swap with the Clippers in 2029, while the Thunder acquired the right to swap first-round picks with the Clippers in 2027.
EDGE Analysis
Morris averaged 13.3 points, 4.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 27.8 minutes per game over three full seasons with the Clippers but wasn't part of the team's rotation during the first three games of the 2023-24 season. He was away from the team recently but will now have a change of scenery and should report to Philadelphia soon. It's not yet clear whether the 34-year-old will be able to suit up for his new team right away following his recent absence, and his role with the 76ers is somewhat murky since several frontcourt players were moved from Los Angeles to Philadelphia. However, Morris should at least have a better chance of claiming a rotation spot with the 76ers than he did with the Clippers.

Morris (personal) won't play Tuesday against the Magic, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morris has been held out of his team's first two matchups this year by LA's coaching staff, and he'll remain sidelined Tuesday. It remains to be seen whether he'll be asked to contribute this season for the Clippers.

Morris (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Spurs, Joey Linn of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morris didn't receive any playing time in the Clippers' first two games due to an apparent coach's decision, and it remains to be seen if he'll be part of the team moving forward. Morris' next chance to play will come against the Magic on Tuesday.

Morris isn't with the team and is out for Friday's game versus Utah.
EDGE Analysis
Morris didn't receive any playing time in the Clippers' regular-season opener, and his role with the team moving forward is questionable. His next chance to suit up is Sunday's matchup with San Antonio, but Morris appears to be a top candidate to be traded.

Morris (groin) will be available for Wednesday's game against Portland, Joey Linn of Sports Illustrated reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morris battled a groin injury for most of training camp, but there's no guarantee he actually sees the floor. Even though Terance Mann is out with an ankle injury, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum are believed to be ahead of Morris on the depth chart.

Morris (groin) will not play in Thursday's preseason game against Denver, Andrew Greif of the Los Angeles Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
Morris certainly appears to be the odd man out for the Clippers this season. Robert Covington seems to be the favorite to start at power forward, while Nicolas Batum and Terance Mann could get plenty of minutes there as well.
