Markieff Morris returns to Mavericks after being traded in February

Markieff Morris will be making his return to the Dallas Mavericks after agreeing terms on a new contract.

Morris left the team back in February as part of a deal, that secured the stay of Kyrie Irving on a three-year contract, worth $120m.

The 34-year-old played sparingly after the trade, averaging 4.5 points in almost nine minutes per game with Dallas. The forward has career averages of 10.6 points and 5.0 rebounds in 12 seasons with eight teams.

It is unclear if Morris gets more playing time in his second spell with the team. That will depend on the roles of trade acquisitions Grant Williams and Richaun Holmes. Another factor will be the development of rookie first-round picks Dereck Lively II and Olivier Maxence-Prosper.
