Suns' Morris sits vs. brother, Pistons with bruised knee

Phoenix Suns forward Markieff Morris did not play against the Detroit Pistons Wednesday night.

He sat out with a bruised left knee, and reserve big man Jon Leuer filled in for him.

Morris' twin brother, Marcus, joined the Pistons via trade in July - a move which did not sit well with either sibling.

Fans of the brothers will have to place their Morris-on-Morris matchup expectations on hold with Markieff's game-time status now being confirmed.

The 26-year-old Philadelphia native has played in every game this season - save two contests in mid-November - and is averaging 12.7 points, 5.7 rebounds and 1.7 assists.
