Rough night for Philadelphia native Marcus Morris.
His Knicks fell to 13-36 after getting clobbered by Memphis at home, losing by 21 points as disgruntled fans called for James Dolan to sell the team.
In the dying moments of the game, the Grizzlies’ Jae Crowder took a corner three pointer while his team was winning big, which resulted in Elfrid Payton shoving him to the ground, then a small melee broke out. A brouhaha, if you will. After the game, Morris then came out and basically called Crowder a woman with these comments:
"He's got a lot of female tendencies on the court, flopping and throwing his head back…he's soft, very woman-like"

As you can imagine, those comments didn’t sit well.
He apologized later:
I apologize for using the term “female tendencies” I have the upmost respect for women and everything they mean to us. It was a Heat of the moment response and I never intended for any Women to feel as though in anyway I’m disrespecting them. Again I apologize with my comments.

Marcus Morris is a feisty, defensive-minded stretch 4(with an expiring contract), who (unlike Mike Scott) can make outside shots with regularity, as well as play lockdown defense at the 4 position…
Trade sg Josh Richardson and backup pf Mike Scott for this man ASAP!
This article has women like tendencies
Oh… today we care about women’s feelings? Sure didn’t care for how women felt after Kobe died.
Even we think you are trying too hard.
Trade a 2 and Mike Scott no more than that. Need something we have a team full of pussies.
Anybody hear woke nat egg’s strange me too rant sticking up for Kobe Bryant in his r@pe incident
Why listen to that loser?
what if the dude just says, I said what I said and I’m not apologizing for anything?
He shoulda just said that he has ‘the opposite of toxic male’ tendencies.
See what I did there?
