Marcus And Markieff Morris have been involved in some sketchy stuff recently. If you haven’t heard this story I covered the initial inquiry a couple of months ago. The story was that the twins were part of a 5-man group that mobbed a man. The man in question, Eric Hood had a relationship of sorts with the twins mother and also the twins themselves. It’s a complex situation but what is important that is Marcus and Markieff Morris are being accused for two counts aggravated assault, and that the twins have pleaded Not-Guilty.
The twins are accused of helping three others beat a man outside a Phoenix recreation center on Jan. 24. The brothers entered their pleas Thursday morning in Maricopa County Superior Court.
According to a Phoenix police report, 36-year-old Erik Hood says five people, including the Morris brothers, repeatedly punched and kicked him. Hood says he suffered a fractured nose, abrasions and a large bump on his head.
It’s unclear whether they’re guilty or not. But a fractured nose and abrasions are something that has to be accounted for. Being mobbed by five people. Two of them professional basketball players. This’ll be a story to keep an eye on during the offseason.
