Los Angeles Clippers forward Marcus Morris (health protocols) has been ruled out for Wednesday versus the Memphis Grizzlies.
Morris reportedly lost his starting job to Nicolas Batum for the rest of the season after missing Monday's game due to a non-COVID illness. The 33-year-old veteran has started all 65 games he played for the Clippers this season and averaged 28.1 minutes per contest, but Morris' minutes are going to take a hit moving forward. Robert Covington will be the backup four behind Batum.
Morris averaged 22.4 FanDuel points per game before the All-Star break, with 12.3 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists, and 2.0 3-pointers on a 43.0 field goal percentage and 38.0 3-point percentage. He has fallen off since the break, with 13.0 FanDuel points per game on a 39.7 field goal percentage and 23.5 3-point percentage.
