Knicks reunite with Marcus Morris Sr. on Exhibit 9 deal to compete for final roster spot
NY Post
Marcus Morris Sr. is a Knick once again.
The team announced Morris signed an Exhibit 9 contract Sunday, which brings the veteran forward back to the city where he played 43 games during the 2019-20 season.
An Exhibit 9 contract, however, is a non-guaranteed, one-year deal that protects the team in case of a significant injury to the player.
This was another depth move for the Knicks, who also signed Landry Shamet to an Exhibit 9 contract as another guard to compete for a roster spot and address an area of need that was exposed during their postseason run last year.
The two will likely battle it out for the final spot, with most of the roster — and the top spots in the rotation — already set with the Knicks’ returning core.
Morris, a 13-year veteran, averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists in his first go-around with the Knicks.
With the Yankees on an impressive run of mostly correct decisions, there’s some reason to leave them alone and just let the best team in the American League continue to roll. But they did raise serious doubt and leave room for suggestions (and even ridicule) following maybe the most inexplicable decision of this season, or any season.
The Giants have never been 0-2 under Brian Daboll, until now. They were 2-0 and flying high in 2022 and 1-1 after a rousing comeback in Arizona in 2023. So, this represents a low point as far as early-season difficulties for Daboll and the Giants. They had no business beating the Vikings in the opener and no business losing to the Commanders in Week 2. But here they are.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Harrison Butker kept making a lonely walk to midfield after each quarter Sunday to check on the direction of the wind, which tends to swirl inside Arrowhead Stadium. He did it one last time during the 2-minute warning, when his Chiefs were trailing the Bengals by two and trying to give him a winning field-goal attempt.
