Morris scored 25 or more in 11 of those 43 Knicks games, including a scintillant 38-point outing against the Clippers on January 5, 2020. I was in the building for that one - like most non-native Angelenos, I did the Bill Simmons cheap Clippers season ticket thing, just to reserve a seat as the NBA circuit toured through Staples Center.
Going to road Knicks games back then was a truly deprived endeavor, as those teams were huge stinkers. It was more about Knicksing in public, congregating with similarly deprived people to chant for Frankie Smokes and yell about chicken cutlets and butcher the Robert Randolph Friday Night Knicks song.
Now back to 2024, where the Knicks just announced that Morris will join the team on an exhibit 9 deal. While it's not guaranteed, Morris' veteran presence, big frame and plug-in scoring should earn him that 15th roster spot for the forthcoming season.
