Sun Mar 1720:35Monte Morris Questionable Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris (hamstring) is questionable for Monday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 28-year-old has dealt with hamstring soreness but returned on Saturday after missing three straight contests. If available, Minnesota will likely continue to take a conservative approach with the 28-year-old, who played just 10 minutes and scored two points on Saturday. Should Morris suit up, he will not factor into fantasy play, as he is averaging 4.8 points, 1.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists across 18 games this season.

Sat Mar 1621:16Monte Morris Available Saturday Versus Jazz
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris (hamstring) is available for Saturday's game against the Utah Jazz. The 28-year-old was dealing with hamstring soreness that kept him out for three games. Since joining the T-Wolves in February, Morris has averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 assists in 15.7 minutes. With Morris returning to the rotation, Jordan McLaughlin will likely see less time on the court. Despite the point guard's return, he is not a viable fantasy option for Saturday.

Sat Mar 1610:48Monte Morris In Danger Of Missing Another Game
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris (hamstring) has been listed as questionable for Saturday's matchup against Utah. The veteran guard is dealing with hamstring soreness, which has already kept him out for three games. Since joining the T-Wolves in February, Morris has averaged 5.3 points and 2.9 assists in 15.7 minutes. His absence has left the door open for Jordan McLaughlin to play a larger part in the rotation, but he's not a recommended fantasy target.

Mon Feb 1209:59Monte Morris Set For Timberwolves Debut On Monday
Minnesota Timberwolves point guard Monte Morris will be available to make his team debut on Monday versus the Clippers. The veteran was picked up last week from Detroit in exchange for Troy Brown Jr., Shake Milton, and a second-round draft pick. Morris was hurt at the start of the campaign and featured just eight times for the Pistons. He posted 4.5 points and 1.3 assists in 11.3 minutes off the bench. Morris is still working his way back into full rhythm, and his numbers should improve, but only an injury to Mike Conley would make him a viable fantasy option.

Wed Jan 2403:42Monte Morris Could Make His Season Debut On Wednesday
Detroit Pistons point guard Monte Morris (quadriceps) has been listed as probable for Wednesday's meeting with the Hornets, meaning he will likely make his season debut. Morris, who was picked up from Washington for a second-round pick in the summer, has been unavailable so far in 2023-24 due to a right quadriceps strain. The 28-year-old has put up solid numbers throughout his six-year NBA career, but it's unclear where he will fit in Detroit's plans, as the backcourt is full of young prospects who need playing time to develop.

Tue Jan 922:24Monte Morris Could Return This Month
Detroit Pistons guard Monte Morris (quad) has reportedly begun ramping up activities and is hopeful to return by the end of January. The veteran guard has not played this season while he continues to recover from a quad strain. The team announced in November that Morris would miss 6-8 weeks of action. Head coach Monty Williams said that Morris is no longer dealing with pain in his quad. It sounds like Morris is making good progress, but he should still remain on the waiver wire for the moment.

Tue Oct 24 202318:38Monte Morris Sidelined For Three Weeks
Detroit Pistons guard Monte Morris (quad), who is out for Wednesday's regular-season opener against the Miami Heat, will be re-evaluated in three weeks. Morris' back spasms kept him out of the whole preseason, and he's now likely to miss the next several weeks of action with a newfound right quad strain. The 28-year-old floor general should see his rotation spot taken by Killian Hayes in the meantime, with swingman Alec Burks also chipping in some reserve minutes at the one behind starters Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey. Morris, likely to only supply low-end fantasy value when healthy anyway, can be left on most waiver wires at this time.

Mon Oct 23 202323:53Monte Morris Out Versus Miami
Detroit Pistons guard Monte Morris (back) will sit out Wednesday's game against the Miami Heat. The 28-year-old, acquired via trade in the offseason, averaged 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.4 rebounds in 62 games with the Wizards in 2022-23. Fortunately, he's increased his activity level after battling back spasms throughout the preseason and is nearing a return. However, the Pistons have a crowded backcourt, with Cade Cunningham, Jaden Ivey, and Ausar Thompson expected to consume most of the minutes. As a result, Morris will have a tough time being a routine contributor for fantasy managers during the 2023-24 campaign, although he'll have some productive showings here and there.

Wed Oct 18 202318:05Bojan Bogdanovic, Monte Morris Likely Out For Preseason
Detroit Pistons head coach Monty Williams said on Wednesday that he doesn't expect forward Bojan Bogdanovic (calf) or guard Monte Morris (back) to play in either of the team's last two preseason games on Thursday or Friday. Neither of which have appeared during the preseason, with Bogdanovic nursing a low-grade right calf strain and Morris a back issue. Bogdanovic's status for Oct. 25's season opener in Miami against the Heat seems to be in greater doubt than that of Morris'. With both men ruled out for the final exhibitions, expect Killian Hayes, Jaden Ivey, and Alec Burks to absorb more usage and playing time for now. When healthy, Bogdanovic is a dependable source of points, threes, and percentages with limited provisions across the board, while Morris is set to share backup minutes at the point with Hayes and Ivey.

Sat Jul 1 202301:26Monte Morris Traded To Detroit
The Wizards traded guard Monte Morris to Detroit on Friday. In exchange, Washington will receive a second-round draft pick. The 28-year-old started 61 games for the Wizards last season, averaging 10.3 points, 5.3 assists, and 3.4 rebounds. Of course, he likely won't see nearly as many runs with the first five in Detroit, considering Jaden Ivey and Cade Cunningham are the primary backcourt options. But Morris could carve out a regular role from off the bench, so he may get enough minutes to make a difference for those participating in deeper fantasy setups.

Wed Jun 28 202321:17Timberwolves Engaged In Talks To Acquire Delon Wright Or Monte Morris
According to Jon Krawczynski of The Athletic, the Minnesota Timberwolves have engaged with the Washington Wizards in trade talks to acquire either Monte Morris or Delon Wright. With the Wizards additions of Jordan Poole and Bilal Coulibaly, this is no surprise. NBA reporter Jake Fischer previously reported that the Wizards were seeking draft compensation for veteran guard Monte Morris, and we believe they are seeking the same compensation for Wright. The Timberwolves are searching for more depth to compete, and the Wizards are moving in the direction of a rebuild, so we could see a deal between these two teams get done soon.

Tue Jun 27 202318:30Wizards Seeking Draft Compensation For Monte Morris
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris is one of the next assets on the trading block as the rebuild efforts continue. According to Jake Fischer of Yahoo Sports, the team is looking for draft compensation in exchange for the 28-year-old point guard. Championship-contending teams will likely shift their focus to trade for the Iowa State product if they can't land the guard they want in free agency. His fantasy value would take a hit unless he goes somewhere that will use him as a starter but the most likely situation would be a bench role like he had in Denver.

Thu Jun 22 202317:29Monte Morris Likely To Be Traded
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris might end up as the next player unloaded during the massive rebuild. The organization already traded guards Bradley Beal, Chris Paul and big man Kristaps Porzingis. It sounds like the Wizards have no plans on stopping now as they want to go full rebuild. It's unclear what kind of value Morris is going to have, but there should be an organization willing to give him a chance. He averaged 10.3 points, 3.4 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 62 games with the Wizards last season. The 27-year-old might not be a full-time starter, but he can certainly contribute to an NBA roster. He probably won't have consistent fantasy value unless he can find a team where he can play nearly 30 minutes a game.

Tue Apr 4 202300:03Monte Morris Absent Again On Tuesday
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (ankle) will remain out on Tuesday against Milwaukee. The 27-year-old is battling right ankle soreness. However, the Wizards have nothing to play for, meaning his year is likely over. Nevertheless, Delon Wright, fresh off an eight-point, seven-assist, and four-steal performance on Sunday versus the Knicks, should remain in the starting lineup while seeing a rise in fantasy value. At the same time, Kristaps Porzingis (illness), Bradley Beal (knee), and Kyle Kuzma (ankle) are sidelined as well, so Corey Kispert, Deni Avdija, and Johnny Davis will also be popular DFS options.

Mon Mar 27 202322:26Monte Morris Uncertain For Tuesday Night
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (groin) is questionable ahead of Tuesday's meeting with Boston. He didn't play in Toronto on Sunday because of a sore groin, so Delon Wright took his place in the rotation. The 30-year-old finished that one with only five points. However, he added eight assists, seven rebounds, and two steals. If Morris is ruled out, Wright will remain a popular fantasy option, although he's not the most consistent scoring option.

Wed Mar 8 202318:18Monte Morris Will Play Off The Bench Wednesday
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) will return to action Wednesday against the Atlanta Hawks. However, Morris will come off the bench as Delon Wright has cemented himself as the starting point guard. Morris was serviceable as Washington's starter for most of the season, but can be safely left on the wire despite returning. Wright is an absolute must-roster player as long as he continues to start.

Wed Mar 8 202314:48Monte Morris Questionable On Wednesday
Washington Wizards point guard Monte Morris (back) is questionable for Wednesday's game against Atlanta. He has missed six straight games with a lower back problem and it's far from certain that he can return on Wednesday, as the team has listed Morris as questionable for prior games as well. Delon Wright has been starting in Morris' place lately, providing value across the board for managers. In eight starts across the whole season, Wright has averaged 8.5 points, 4.3 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 2.5 steals.

Mon Mar 6 202321:58Monte Morris Questionable Despite Being Week-To-Week
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) is listed as questionable for Tuesday's game versus the Detroit Pistons. The Wizards recently noted Morris was "week-to-week" as he continues to deal with a back injury, so we won't put too much stock into the questionable tag. Delon Wright has been fantastic as the starter and should be on fantasy rosters until Morris is officially back in action.

Sat Mar 4 202302:51Monte Morris Out Again Versus The Raptors
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) remains out for Saturday's meeting with the Toronto Raptors. Morris will now miss his fourth straight contest because of low back soreness, meaning Delon Wright will take his sport in the rotation. Wright has averaged 7.4 points, 5.8 assists, 4.4 boards, and 1.4 steals in five starts this season, so he warrants consideration from fantasy managers in deeper formats. However, the 30-year-old is a streaky shooter, something for category participants to consider.

Wed Mar 1 202320:08Monte Morris Out Again On Thursday
Washington Wizards guard Monte Morris (back) is out for Thursday's contest versus the visiting Toronto Raptors, marking his third straight absence because of low back soreness. Delon Wright has been starting in Morris' place, with the 30-year-old going for nine points, four assists, and one block against the Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday evening. That said, while Wright has potential for those in deep formats, he's a risky fantasy option.
