Marcus Morris Sr., a 13-year NBA veteran, was arrested in Broward County, Florida, on July 27, 2025, on a felony fraud charge related to writing a check with insufficient funds, stemming from an out-of-state warrant. He was detained at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and is being held without bond. His twin brother, Markieff Morris, and agent, Yony Noy, disputed the fraud narrative, claiming the issue involves an unpaid casino marker over $1,200, which is treated as a felony in Nevada. They expressed frustration over the public nature of the arrest, suggesting it was an overreach for the amount involved. Morris, a free agent who last played for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Philadelphia 76ers in the 2023-24 season, has a history of legal issues, including a 2012 battery charge and a 2015 assault case, both resolved without conviction. This arrest could impact his NBA comeback and media career with ESPN.
