The Knicks blasted Marcus Morris in a statement, saying his remarks about Jae Crowder being “woman-like’’ were “offensive and unacceptable’ and “can not be tolerated.’’
The trade deadline is Feb. 6, and Morris has received a lot of interest.
Morris was fined $35,000 by the NBA on Thursday for escalating the Wednesday night brawl in which Grizzlies forward Crowder was pushed to the floor by Knicks point guard Eldrid Payton. Though Morris quickly apologized for using terms such as “female tendencies” to describe Crowder’s play, it didn’t soothe the feelings of one WNBA star and, more importantly, the Knicks.
