    As long as Finch doesn’t bench him for the first possession failed. I suppose he can’t since they gave up assets for him and he’s got a real contract.

    Hope he works out.

    Hasn’t appeared to play much this season. From Novemeber news about his injury:

    *The update that is not as good is that Monte Morris has received a PCP injection for his quad injury and will be re-evaluated in 6-8 weeks. That is a big blow for a player who was excited to be back playing for the team he grew up watching and also a big blow to the Pistons who need an adult at point guard that can take care of the ball.*

    *That is Morris’ specialty and it could have been a huge boost to the Pistons, who have struggled mightily with turnovers this season. Instead, the Pistons will continue to rely on Killian Hayes, who does a good job of taking care of the ball, and Marcus Sasser, who is a rookie and will do rookie things.*

    *As the Pistons losing streak has reached 12 games, there could be some much-needed reinforcements in Duren and Bogdanovic, but you also have to account for the reintegration they will have to go through when returning to action. Neither player is going to hit the ground running, which the Pistons really need them to do right now.*

    *In the grand scheme of things, the return of Duren and Bogdanovic will do a lot more for improving the Pistons than getting Morris back, but it doesn’t mean that Morris’ loss is any less devastating. We could be looking at the trade deadline before we even get to see Morris play in a Pistons uniform.*
