'Putting a fire 'em': How new Cavs addition Marcus Morris Sr. plans to help team learn playoff-level grit

Camryn Justice is a reporter at News 5 Cleveland.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — The Cleveland Cavaliers recently signed forward Marcus Morris Sr. to a 10-day contract. The addition seemed to highlight an effort to bring a tough veteran leader into the room of young players gearing up for a playoff run. Now in Cleveland, Morris plans to embody that exact role while teaching his new teammates an important lesson.

In that first game in wine and gold, gelling with the team quickly turned into leadership, with Morris already coaching up guys on the court. Morris has been watching the Cavs recently, for two reasons: he has a pre-established relationship with head coach J.B. Bickerstaff, and because he feels like this team had a need that he can help fill and thought the Cavs might come calling.

Morris is known for his ability to answer back to trash talk, and to chirp a little on his own. He plans to do that in wine and gold, but more importantly, get the rest of the Cavs to do the same.
