On March 12, 2022, Beijing time, the Heat will finally return to the whole staff! According to THE US media AP Sports, Markieff Morris is expected to return to the team in the next few days.
Morris has not played for the Heat for a long time, after in the game between the Nuggets and the Heat in early November 2021, Morris deliberately crashed into Jokic from the side, and after the referee blew the whistle, Jokic hit Morris vigorously from behind, directly causing Morris's cervical spine problems. Jokic was also banned for one game after that, and Morris has not played because of injury, and it has been 4 months now!
At present, it is reported that Morris has been allowed to return to the field and is now recovering from the game, and it will not be long before he is back on the field! For the Heat, this is undoubtedly very good news, to know that this season they have a record of 44 wins and 23 losses, ranking first in the East, 2 wins ahead of the Bucks behind them, if they can welcome back the return of Morris, the overall strength of the team is bound to be greatly improved!
Morris averaged 18.7 minutes per game before the injury, was able to have 7.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 1.4 assists, and had a stable shooting percentage from outside the line, making it a very important outside turret for the Heat. And more importantly, he plays very tough, is a famous "villain" in the league, and having such a tough player in the team will also bring shock to the opponent!
After welcoming back Adebayo and Oladipo's return, the Heat's roster has become more and more luxurious. If Morris can come back from the recent game, this Heat team will really scare all the teams, Butler, Hiro, Adebayo, Lowry, Duncan Robinson, Morris, Oladipo, PJ Tucker, and a bunch of great role players who are really the most competitive team in the East!
