Clippers to re-sign Marcus Morris to four-year deal

Marcus Morris and the Clippers have reached an agreement on a new contract, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski, who reports (via Twitter) that the veteran forward will sign a four-year, $64 million contract with Los Angeles.

Morris was one of the Clippers' top priorities this offseason, averaging 16.7 points and five rebounds per game last season with the Knicks and Clippers. He fit seamlessly alongside Paul George, Kawhi Leonard and others, adding three-point shooting and toughness on the defensive end.

Morris, who turned 31 in September, will likely remain in the Clippers' starting lineup next season. Before joining the Clippers, he had stints in Houston, Phoenix, Detroit, Boston and New York.

Los Angeles disappointed onlookers last season, blowing a 3-1 series lead to the Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals. The Clippers have since fired Doc Rivers, overhauled their coaching staff under Tyronn Lue, and lost Montrezl Harrell to the rival Lakers in free agency.

In addition to reaching a deal with Morris, the Clippers also agreed to a new contract with veteran forward Patrick Patterson in free agency.
