Throughout this series, Marcus Morris has been involved in verbal altercations with Luka Doncic and Kristaps Porzingis. During last night's game, however, he fouled Luka by stepping on his injured ankle. While Morris claims that is was an accident, many, including NBA analyst Nick Wright, believe his actions to be intentional.

Marcus Morris hit out at Nick Wright last night on Twitter after the latter claimed that the foul was an intentionally dirty play. Morris claims that he is being targetted and that he would never give up his morals to win a game of basketball.

Marcus Morris went on to say:

"I play this game with a level of respect for myself and other players. To think I would try to injure somebody is crazy to me."

Nick Wright was not convinced by Morris' statements on Twitter and replied with a jab of his own this morning.

This is a sentiment that has been echoed by many NBA fans who believe that Marcus Morris went too far and could have seriously injured the young star.

Nick Wright had a lot to say about Marcus Morris on his show 'First Things First' this morning. He suggested that the LA Clippers' big man moved in towards Luka Doncic intending to injure his ankle, saying:

"Marcus Morris can jump on Twitter and tweet to me all he wants saying I don't know him, Luka does. And Luka thinks it was intentional, that's obvious."

During the game, Nick Wright tweeted out in outrage about the allegedly intentional foul. He called on the NBA to examine Morris' against Luka Doncic, who is on his way to being the face of the league in the near future.

As the reactions to Marcus Morris' actions keep coming in, we wonder whether any action will be taken against him by the league.
