6 years agoBoston Celtics power forward Marcus Morris will enter the starting lineup for the first time this season against the Atlanta Hawks on Friday. With center Al Horford sidelined, the Celtics will turn to Morris, who as has come off the bench in all 17 games he has played. Morris is averaging a career-high 6.6 rebounds per game, and will be needed on the glass, as he will technically be Boston’s starting center Friday. Don’t expect this to be a permanent move, but he’ll almost certainly see at least a slight uptick in minutes and role against the Hawks.--Jesse Borek
