7. Marcus & Markieff Morris

The Morris twins have been around forever, seemingly. As one of the oldest sibling pairs in the league, however, their careers are starting to move in opposite directions.

Marcus is on his sixth NBA team, the LA Clippers, but still going strong. He started every game he played last season, averaging 15.4 points per game and shooting his best career percentage from the free throw line. He’s in the midst of a four-year, $64 million deal.

This season, Marcus has been playing consistently well as the team’s starting power forward. He’s averaging 15.1 points and 5.7 rebounds per game. He also recently hit the 9,000-point mark for his career.

While Marcus is starting, Markieff is barely playing with the Brooklyn Nets. He had already transitioned to a journeyman bench role before suffering a neck injury in an altercation with Nikola Jokic a year ago. Markieff only played 17 games all year.

Markieff has missed some time this season for personal reasons. He hasn’t played particularly well when he’s taken the court, though. Markieff could be trending upwards, however, as he recently nabbed a 15-point, 12-rebound double-double in a road win over Marcus’ Clippers.

If Markieff is to have a renaissance this season, it would be fun for the NBA to see the two 33-year-old twins continue their decade-long careers, some of which were memorably spent together.
