Former NBA forward Marcus Morris Sr., known for his time with the Knicks, was arrested at a Florida airport on a felony fraud charge stemming from an out-of-state warrant. The charge involves writing a check with insufficient funds, reportedly related to an unpaid casino marker. He is currently held without bond in Broward County.
Morris, who played 13 seasons in the NBA and recently transitioned to TV work with ESPN, responded on social media saying the incident was blown out of proportion and promised to provide full context soon. His twin brother, Markieff, defended him publicly, calling the headlines misleading.
Morris’s agent clarified that this type of charge is common in states where unpaid casino debts are treated as legal matters.
