Former NBA player Marcus Morris Sr., who spent part of his career with the Phoenix Suns along with his twin brother Markieff Morris, was arrested on July 27, in Florida on a felony fraud charge.

Broward County, Florida, arrest records showed Morris was arrested in connection with writing a check with insufficient funds, USA Today reported. He was in custody in Florida early July 28 and held in relation to a case from another state. Details were not immediately available.

TMZ repoted on Tuesday, July 29, that Morris was denied bond after appearing before a judge.

Morris played for the Suns from 2013-2015 before being traded to the Detroit Pistons. A 13-year veteran, he most recently played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2023-24, and also played for the Houston Rockets, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Clippers and Philadelphia 76ers.

He appeared as a guest analyst on ESPN last season.

Morris and his brother were charged with aggravated assault in connection with a 2015 beating of a man outside a Phoenix basketball tournament in 2015. Both were acquitted of the charges along with a third man in 2017

Markieff Morris posted on social media Sunday that his brother’s arrest occurred at an airport and indicated the situation was not serious.

“The wording is crazy. Damn for that amount of money they’ll embarrass you in the airport with your family,” he wrote on X.

Markieff Morris was drafted by the Suns in 2011 out of Kansas and was with the team until 2016. He was traded by the Dallas Mavericks to the Los Angeles Lakers last season as part of the deal that sent Luka Doncic to the Lakers for Anthony Davis.

Yony Noy, the agent who represents both Morris brothers, also posted on X the following, indicating it involved a casino:

“Just so everyone understands this is zero fraud here or whatever crap outlets have said regarding fake checks or whatever the hell. This is due to an outstanding marker with a casino. Apparently if you have over $1,200 they can issue a warrant for your arrest. Absolute insanity!”

The judge indicated that Morris only would be released for extradition to Nevada, according to TMZ.
