Sources say that Marcus Morris is expected to work a buyout with San Antonio. The veteran PG was shipped off by the Sixers at the deadline. It was a homecoming for the 34-year-old who was born in Philadelphia. That quickly came to an end after just 37 games for Morris in 2023-24. No deal has been done just yet in his buyout, but his former teammate says Morris wants to join the Minnesota Timberwolves. Patrick Beverley broke the news on his podcast, The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone.

The Timberwolves would be a strong contender for Morris to join. At 36-16, Minnesota is currently first in the Western Conference. In 37 games for the Sixers this season. Morris made seven starts.
