Cleveland Cavaliers forward Marcus Morris Sr. (24).
Forward Marcus Morris saw his 10-day contract with the Cavaliers expire overnight, temporarily making him an unrestricted free agent.
However, he won’t remain a free agent for long — according to Chris Fedor of Cleveland.com, the Cavs plan to bring Morris back on a deal that covers the remainder of the 2023-24 season.
Many players who sign 10-day deals don’t play much for their new clubs, but that was not the case for Morris. He averaged 7.8 points and 3.0 rebounds in 18.4 minutes per game across his five appearances with Cleveland.
A 13-year NBA veteran, Morris has technically been on four teams this season, but he didn’t play in any games for two of them (the Clippers and Spurs). He was sent from L.A. to Philadelphia in the James Harden deal, then shipped from Philly to San Antonio at the February deadline.
The 34-year-old reached a buyout with the Spurs at the end of last month, making him eligible for the playoffs. He found a new team a couple of weeks later when he signed with Cleveland.
The Cavs have one opening on their standard roster, which means they don’t need to cut anyone to re-sign Morris. Their 18-man roster will be full once the deal is official.
