Markieff Morris: Will miss six-to-eight weeks following surgery

The timeline puts Morris’ return sometime around early-to-mid November. That
said, he’s still standing trial for felony assault charges — a situation which
could end in league discipline if he’s found guilty, possibly extending his
absence. In any event, the Wizards will have to find a replacement starting
power forward, with the most likely suitor being Otto Porter, who could slide
one spot up in the lineup. That would create a void at small forward, which
Kelly Oubre could fill nicely. The situation certainly puts Morris’ fantasy
value in flux, though assuming he’s found innocent in the trial, he may only end
up missing around 10 games.
