Markieff Morris became the second Phoenix Sun in franchise history to throw a towel at his coach (recall Robert Horry and Danny Ainge). Morris has been upset at the organization since twin brother Marcus was traded to Detroit in the offseason and he recently lost his starting job and has fallen out of favor. I look at the stat sheet, he’s a minus-13 in 12 minutes. “He thinks he’s better than that. There was precedent for these kind of situations but we would’ve done the same thing if it was any of the other 14 players on the roster”. I like the Suns to bounce back at home and win this one, but I don’t see why they should be favored by so many points. Phoenix has not made the playoffs since Hornacek took over the team three years ago.

Mahrez typifies Leicester City’s glorious season thus far. “This is a big step”, he told the club’s official website. City could have captain Vincent Kompany back against Sunderland after eight games out with a calf injury.
So Morris in turn got hit Thursday with the old “conduct detrimental to the team” line when the Suns announced the suspension. Lowe also pointed out that the Suns need to make changes not just because of the recent incident but also due to their 12-19 record this season.
