Marcus Morris recently signed a four-year, $64 million deal to remain with the Los Angeles Clippers. Now his brother, Markieff, is hoping he can land a deal with the team as well.
According to Jason Dumas of KRON4 News, the second Morris brother is looking to join the Clippers despite the Lakers' interest in bringing him back for the 2020-21 campaign.

Lakers are still interested in bringing him back even with the signing of Montrezl Harrell.
Markieff was solid for the Lakers last season en route to an NBA title. The 31-year-old averaged 9.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game while shooting 44.3 percent from the field and 38.6 percent from deep.
The Morris brothers have not played on the same NBA team since the 2014-15 season when they were both members of the Phoenix Suns. They made a solid duo that season, averaging 25.7 points, 11 rebounds and 3.9 assists per game combined.
If the Clippers sign Markieff, they'll be hoping they can play at a high level together after losing Montrezl Harrell to the Lakers in free agency.
