Press release: Morris Recalled from Rio Grande Valley Vipers HOUSTON – Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey announced today that forward Marcus Morris has been recalled from Houston’s single-affiliation NBA D-League partner Rio Grande Valley. Morris had re-joined the Vipers on Feb. 3. Morris (6-9, 235, Kansas), who was selected by Houston with the 14th overall pick in the 2011 NBA Draft, averaged 22.8 points, 9.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 1.40 steals in the 10 full games he has played with Rio Grande Valley this season. He made his debut with the Vipers by posting 33 points (13-24 FG), 16 rebounds, five assists and two steals vs. Dakota (1/6/12).
So will we get a good look at Morris? I hope so, but McHale will have to find him some minutes, and that won't be easy.
He's already played in 3 games. Anyway, hope he steps it up mentally. He didn't seem ready mentally the first time around.
Trade coming, otherwise i don't see any minutes for him. Or McHale is very frustrated with Kev Mart and wont play him for a couple games.
I'm going to assume that this doesn't indicate an imminent trade but I really hope we get to see him get a few touches.
About time. The last thing we need is a trade involving Marcus Morris resulting in another Linsanity against us.
