Miami Heat Show Appreciation For Markieff Morris' One Year With Organization

Morris signed a one-year deal with the Brooklyn Nets

Even though he play just one season with the Miami Heat, the organization still took time out to say thanks. 

On Wednesday, the Heat's official Twitter account posted a message show their appreciation. The tweet said, "We appreciate you, Keef."

Last Tuesday Morris signed a one-year contract with the Brooklyn Nets.  Last year Morris only played 17 games with the Heat, averaging 7.6 points and 2.6 rebounds in 17.5 minutes. Morris made headlines last season when he was involved in an on-court altercation with Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic. After shoving Jokic, Morris was pushed to the ground from behind. 

It left Morris with a neck injury that caused him to miss 58 straight games.

Here's what Heat coach Erik Spoelstra had to say when Morris returned against the Minnesota Timberwolves

"He’s been a great teammate," Spoelstra said. "He’s been great behind the scenes and he’s really been putting in the work. I think that allowed him to play the minutes that he played. It looked like he was in really good rhythm. It’s not the same as five-on-five, but he’s going to get that really quickly because of all the work he’s put in behind the scenes. I’m just really happy for him on the human side that he’s finally able to be cleared.”
