Markieff Morris comments on twin brother's past run-ins with Luka Doncic

Following the blockbuster trade made over the weekend, speculation has begun over Kyrie Irving's fit with the Dallas Mavericks, given his abrupt exit from the Brooklyn Nets. 

However, others wonder how Markieff Morris, who was also included in the deal, might co-exist with star Luka Doncic. 

While there isn't any bad blood between Doncic and Morris, the Mavericks' All-Star has had several run-ins with twin brother Marcus. On Wednesday, Morris addressed these concerns while speaking with reporters. 

"There's no personal beef, no vendetta," Morris said. "That's just how we play sometimes. We might foul the s--- out of you. It just is what it is. Some people might call it dirty. I just call it playing tough." 

In Game 6 of the 2020 Western Conference opening round between the Mavericks and Los Angeles Clippers, Marcus fouled Doncic hard under the basket, leading to his ejection. The NBA later fined Morris $35K for "recklessly striking" Doncic above the shoulders.
