Not only did Markieff Morris get into a physical altercation with a teammate on the bench during Wednesday night’s Suns game, but he also appeared to flip the bird to a heckler afterwards.
A fan posted video on Facebook of Morris gesturing to the camera after being heckled. The heckler said the Suns should trade Morris, and the big man appeared to raise his middle finger in response. Video contains bad language – beware:
So this is how you really feel…trade this bitch!

Morris has been a problem child for the Suns ever since his twin brother was traded to Detroit over the offseason. He publicly demanded a trade, then he was suspended for disrespecting his head coach, and on Wednesday he grabbed a teammate’s throat (video here).
You have to wonder whether another team would even have interest in Morris given his problems, but someone probably will given his talent and abilities. Markieff is averaging 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds per game this season.
