BOSTON — Marcus Morris wears his city on his sleeve.
Few people are a better ambassador for the city of Philadelphia than the 28-year-old Boston Celtics forward. The Celtics and 76ers will get to renew acquaintances as these two NBA rivals meet in the NBA Eastern Conference semifinal, which begins Monday in Boston.
And Morris can’t wait.
Morris and his twin brother and current Washington Wizard forward Markieff, starred for Philadelphia’s Prep Charter, leading the Huskies to the Public League title and then a second straight PIAA Class AA state championship in 2007.
“I love Philly,” Morris said in a quiet moment by his locker following Saturday’s 112-96 win in Game 7 over the Milwaukee Bucks at TD Garden.
