Morris-Goodwin scuffle makes defeat worse for Suns

Goodwin tried going back after him but the two were being held back by teammates and 7-foot-1 Tyson Chandler stood in to separate the two. Then this happened between Morris and third-year guard Archie Goodwin during the game.

“That was nothing. That was part of being a leader and big brother”, Morris said after the team’s 112-104 loss. This incident looks especially bad for Morris, as he has been caught up in all kinds of internal issues with the Suns over the last several months. Everything I do looks bad.’ Both players returned to the game. Morris finished with 19 points, eight rebounds and four assists in 36 minutes, and Goodwin added 20 points, two rebounds and two assists in 28 minutes.

Still, with the situation between Morris and the Suns ever since they traded his brother, he’s always found himself on the wrong end of these instances even if he shouldn’t have been.

Morris has been quite a headache for the Suns recently. That change will start with the coaching staff as the Suns have already promoted Earl Watson to be the interim head coach.
