Incoming Sixer Marcus Morris: ‘I Had to Get Out of Hollywood’

James Harden was the main name in the big trade between the 76ers and Clippers, but there were six other players involved.

One of them was Clippers forward Marcus Morris, who’s headed to Philadelphia. And from the sounds of things, Morris couldn’t be happier.

“I had to get out of Hollywood,” Morris wrote on his Instagram story following news of the trade. Why, though, he didn’t say.

Morris, 34, has been quite the journeyman, as Philadelphia becomes his sixth team. He spent most of his time with the Clippers — almost four whole seasons. He averaged 11.2 points and 4.0 rebounds in 65 games last season.

So while he may not come with the star power of, say, a Harden, Morris could be an underrated addition for the Sixers. Especially now that he is apparently happy to be somewhere other than LA.
