Marcus Morris ticketed after bar fight following Missouri-Kansas game

Marcus Morris, who the Houston Rockets selected with the 14th pick in last June’s NBA Draft, was ticketed at 2:37 a.m. on Sunday for allegedly participating in a bar fight in Lawrence, Kan, according to a TV report.

Morris went to Kansas University and was in Lawrence for Saturday’s Missouri-Kansas game. He was one of two men ticketed for the incident at the bar called The Cave.

"A male employee was allegedly punched by another man after a verbal dispute turned physical," said Kim Murphree, police spokeswoman. "Another man allegedly punched the employee from behind."

Morris is scheduled for a March 20 court appearance in Lawrence.

He’s played in just three games this season and was sent to the Rockets’ D-League team in early January, where he averaged 22.8 points and 9.1 rebounds in 10 games, not counting the game in which he sprained his right ankle in the first minute. The Rockets, however, called him up before the All-Star break.
