The far-fetched theory reached Marcus Morris, who denied the allegations wholeheartedly on Thursday.
I wouldn't play for another team unless I'm on that team. Smooth playing on a sprained ankle. I didn't expect anything less.

“I wouldn’t play for another team unless I’m on that team. Smooth playing on a sprained ankle. I didn’t expect anything less.
“The stories was funny though !!!”
Markieff was a team-high +10 plus/minus in Game 2, and a team-high +7 in Game 1.
He’s expected to play in Game 3 on Thursday in Washington.
