Markieff and Marcus Morris have officially agreed to contract extensions with the Phoenix Suns. Markieff has agreed to a four-year, $32 million deal, while Marcus has agreed to a four-year, $20 million deal, reports Paul Coro of Az Central Sports
As reported late last night, the twin brothers were closing in on the deal and were expected to sign their respective extensions on Monday.
The Phoenix Suns now have the Morris brothers along with Eric Bledsoe signed for the next five years. Goran Dragic is next in line to receive a long-term deal from the Suns.
Both Markieff and Marcus will continue to play off the bench. They were a huge part of Phoenix’s success last season due to their phenomenal bench play. The two brothers combined to average 23.5 points per game off the bench. Phoenix’s bench was third in scoring last season, behind the San Antonio Spurs and Los Angeles Lakers, with an average of 39.0 points, meaning the Morris brothers were responsible for more than half the scoring.
The Phoenix Suns continue to build towards their future, which is looking extremely bright, as the Morris twins were definitely deserving of contract extensions with the team.
