New York Knicks forward Marcus Morris is arguably having his finest season in the NBA. The 30-year-old former Kansas star, whom the Knicks signed as a free agent in July, is averaging 19.3 points per game, a career high. He has been one of the few reliable starters for the 13-36 Knicks as they tumble through yet another terrible season.
The trajectory of Morris’s Knicks career changed Wednesday night and not for the better. Morris was involved in an on-court scuffle with Memphis Grizzlies players in Madison Square Garden. Much more significantly, he uttered a series of misogynistic and ignorant comments to journalists after the game.
