Marcus Morris on Jaylen Brown: "We are talking about one of the guys that carried this team, that has been the longest tenured Celtic on the team. I had the privilege to play with him and Jason Tatum and watch these guys grow up. This is a mature young fellow in this league, he is in his prime right now. I don't know if you can actually go out on the market and find a better player that plays defense and offense at the highest level, being a great two-way player. He is a leader, he is a motivator, he is the definition of a Celtic."

The charges against NBA veteran Marcus Morris were dismissed on Wednesday (Aug. 6) after owing two Las Vegas casinos over $200,000. According to a local news outlet, KLAS, Morris was facing fraud and theft charges before paying off the $265,000 he owed the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel and Casino and the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino.

Retired NBA forward Marcus Morris once again set the record straight about his alleged fraud, doubling down on his denial of writing a bad check, Morris went on a NSFW rant about his arrest. After he was freed from jail, the NBA podcast host joined his twin brother, Markieff Morris, to explain his side of the story. The Morris brothers explained how everything went down. A frustrated Morris admitted to some wrongdoing, but not one to the extent of writing bad checks or committing fraud, which was how his rant started as part of a short 20-minute episode, per Marcus and Markieff Morris’ YouTube channel. “Don’t ever put my name with nothing but fraud. This is not fraud activity,” Morris said. “I have never wrote a check to no casinos in exchange for money that I can put in my pocket. I wrote exchange for credit thinking that you know the source of the income and you know what I’ve done in the past years to pay it back plus put the money back that I chose to take from y’all to gamble with. So you know I want to just clear that up and then you could take it how you want.”
The ordeal for Morris is a valuable lesson he warned others about after having spent days inconserated. “You could think about think about me this way. But I know what my loved ones and the people that surround us and the people we surround ourselves with really feel about us,” Morris added. “But listen, jail, don’t f*** with it. Don’t f*** with it. That’s why we had to do this s*** outside cuz I couldn’t sit in no small ass room. I came home, I think I slept outside.”
