The soap opera between the Phoenix Suns and their disgruntled power forward Markieff Morris has now reached the league office. The NBA has fined Morris $10,000 for comments he made that the team deemed to be detrimental to the league. Last week in a tweet, Morris wrote, "My future will not be in Phoenix….#thatisall."
Morris has been unhappy with the Suns since last July when the team traded his twin brother Marcus to the Detroit Pistons. As a result of that trade, Markieff told the Philadelphia Inquirer last month that he will be out of Phoenix by the time training camp starts at the end of this month.
The Suns have said they will not trade Morris, and expect him to show up for training camp.
Stay tuned for the next chapter in this ongoing saga.
