[Saba Sports News] The third-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers are preparing for their playoff journey, and they seem set to bolster their squad with a seasoned addition. Patrick Beverley hinted on his podcast’s X page that Marcus Morris Sr., a veteran forward, is expected to join the Cavs.
Having been released by the San Antonio Spurs post-trade deadline last month, Morris remains a free agent but is playoff-eligible due to his waiver before March 1. Given Beverley’s past association with Morris at the LA Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers, he might be sourcing information directly from Morris.
Morris, 34, brings a wealth of experience from his 13 years in the NBA, known for his 37.7 percent accuracy from the three-point line and his tough defensive play, contributing to significant playoff campaigns, including conference finals appearances with the Boston Celtics and the Clippers.
Despite signs of declining physicality and questions about his current fit in a contending team’s rotation, the Cavaliers, who are struggling with depth at the power forward position due to Evan Mobley’s injury and inconsistent performances from Dean Wade and Georges Niang, could benefit from Morris’s experienced presence and clutch shooting as they aim to strengthen their 42-24 record.
