Markieff Morris is an American professional basketball player who plays as a backup power forward for the Dallas Mavericks. Throughout his NBA career, Morris has been a great two-way player. On offense, he is known for his perimeter and 3-point shooting as well as strong post-up plays near the key area. On the defensive end, he has always been a hard-nosed, no-nonsense defender, causing problems to opposition teams' offensive players.

Over his 13 year NBA career, Morris has played for several teams, serving as a glue guy for each of them.

A notable milestone in Morris' career occurred on February 21, 2013, when his brother Marcus was traded to the Phoenix Suns, making them the first brothers ever to start alongside each other on the same NBA team. This was quite a heartwarming story from that season which garnered a lot of attention. Markieff, also known as “Keef”, won the 2020 NBA championship with the LA Lakers.

As his career nears its end in the last couple of years, Morris has resorted to the backup option for teams. He primarily operates as a veteran locker room leader for the Mavericks, bringing his wealth of experience and leadership to the team. In the 2023/24 season, Morris averaged 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds in 26 games.
