Jaylen Morris has reportedly signed a training camp contract with the San Antonio Spurs.
Morris last played in Greece and the G-League, and he’ll now have a chance to play in the NBA for the Spurs. Even if he makes the final cut, don’t bother with him in fantasy.
Morris was let go by the Bucks on Sunday, Matt Velazquez of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Morris hasn't appeared in a game for Milwaukee since Dec. 14, and he'll be on the lookout for a new home after parting ways with the Bucks. He's averaging just 2.5 points in four contests this season.
Morris, who agreed to join an Italian team earlier in the week, has opted out of his contract to sign a two-way deal with Milwaukee, freelance reporter David Pick reports.
Morris saw limited action in the NBA during his rookie campaign last season, totaling 98 minutes for Atlanta. During his senior year at Molloy College, he posted 19.9 points per game on 55.0 percent shooting and was selected to the ECC All-First Team. Not only was he an efficient scorer, the guard also accumulated 45 steals in 29 contests. Now, he'll have a chance to showcase that ability with the Bucks' G-League affiliate, the Wisconsin Herd. As is the nature of two-way contracts, Morris will be able to spend as many as 45 days at the NBA level, should the team choose to call him up.
Morris agreed to a contract with Fiat Torino on Saturday, Sportando.com reports. The contract contains an NBA out.
Morris, after playing just 98 minutes for Atlanta during his rookie campaign, will opt to take his talents to Italy, where he's likely to see more run. The Molloy College product saw 16.3 minutes per appearance for the Hawks, averaging 4.7 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.2 assists. During his senior year of college, Morris was awarded ECC All-First Team and posted 19.9 points per game on 55.0 percent shooting. He was also a significant contributor on defense, swiping 45 steals across 29 contests.
