Marcus Morris on Suns: ‘I didn’t have a great opportunity’

Marcus Morris comes to the Detroit Pistons with a chip on his shoulder.

Blindsided by his trade from Phoenix, the 25-year-old small forward said he will use it as motivation to help the Pistons get back in the playoff hunt.

“I wouldn’t say stunning, but in Phoenix, I would say I didn’t have a great opportunity,” Morris said at an introductory news conference today at the Palace of Auburn Hills. “I kind of wanted to play with my brother (twin Markieff Morris) so much that I kind of took away from myself. I didn’t think I had an opportunity to get better. I don’t think I had the chance to grow as a player over there. I think the opportunity is here for me.”
