With Kevin Durant now back with the Brooklyn Nets, the team is looking to fill the roster with players who can help contend for a title.

One potential addition is veteran forward Markieff Morris, who averaged 7.6 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last season with the Miami Heat.

According to NBA insider Marc Stein, the Nets have “registered the most serious interest” in Morris, although the Philadelphia 76ers have also “explored the feasibility of signing the Philly native.”

Morris has spent 11 years in the NBA and could be a positive addition in the locker room, with Stein noting he was not afraid to speak his mind on the Los Angeles Lakers alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
