Morris has enjoyed a career season with the Knicks, starting in all 43 games while averaging a career-high 19.6 PPG. He is also shooting a career-high 43.6% from 3-point land on 6.1 attempts per game.

Reportedly, the Knicks 1st inquired about the availability of Los Angeles Lakers’ Kyle Kuzma, but the Lakers didn’t seem to be interested in letting go of the young forward.
