Shams Charania: Free agent Markieff Morris has agreed to a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets, pending physical exam, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. An addition who brings production and leadership as an 11-year NBA veteran. Morris was part of the 2020 Lakers championship team and now is set to join Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Ben Simmons in Brooklyn. He is expected to undergo a physical with the team this week.

Markieff Morris reaches agreement with Brooklyn, per Shams. Return here wasn’t a serious consideration… Jazz insisting on 4 unconditional 1st rounders (& other things) for Mitchell, per NY Post. Heat does not have ability to satisfy that demand. – 11:30 AM
