KU notebook: Morris twins didn’t dare trade places in NBA playoff game, their former teammates maintain

Tyshawn Taylor says there’s no way two of his best buddies — identical-looking twins Markieff and Marcus Morris — would trade places in something as important as an NBA playoff game.

“Not at these high stakes, the highest stakes in the world. For a class? Maybe. Right now, absolutely not,” said Taylor in a phone interview. Taylor was a teammate of the Morris twins at Kansas.

Taylor was responding to what’s been light-hearted speculation in some media outlets that Marcus Morris, a member of the Detroit Pistons, might have suited up for Washington Wizards forward Markieff Morris in Game 2 of the current second-round playoff series between the Wizards and Boston Celtics.
