Rotowire
Morris notched three points (1-5 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds and one steal in 15 minutes during Saturday's 117-100 loss to the Nuggets.
Morris played his first game for the Pacers, logging 15 minutes off the bench. Brought in to provide the team with some much-needed guard depth, Morris is likely to serve as the second or third point guard on the roster. At this point, there is no reason to think he will sniff fantasy value.

Suns' Monte Morris: Sitting out Friday
Rotowire
The Suns list Morris out for Friday's game against the Nuggets due to low back injury management.
Morris first appeared on the injury report in late February on account of lower-back soreness, and he proceeded to sit out four straight games before being cleared to play in advance of this past Sunday's 116-98 loss to the Timberwolves. The veteran point guard didn't see the floor in a coach's decision and went unused again in Tuesday's win over the Clippers, despite being available. He's now back on the injury report for Friday's game, though Morris looks like he'll remain outside of the rotation whenever he finally moves past the back issue.
