Junior forward Marcus Morris soars over UCLA guard Lazeric Jones during his career at the University. He was recently recalled from the Rio Grande Valley Vipers and currently plays for the Houston Rockets.
Brandon Rush, guard
Golden State Warriors
Rush leads the league in three-point percentage, yet despite shooting 53.8 percent, will not get the opportunity to play against former Jayhawk teammate Mario Chalmers in the three-point contest. On Saturday, Rush scored eight points, going 3 of 7 from the field and hitting two threes in as many attempts. He also had four rebounds, two blocks, one steal and one assist.
Drew Gooden, center-forward
Milwaukee Bucks
Gooden did not travel with the team this past weekend due to a sprained wrist and knee soreness. There is no timetable for his return. Gooden last played on Feb. 15, putting up 11 points, five rebounds, and two blocks in 26 minutes of playing time. Forward John Leuer is starting in his place.
Nick Collison/Cole Aldrich, forwards
Oklahoma City Thunder
The Thunder went without several players during Monday’s match-up against the Hornets, one of whom was Collison because of a left quad contusion. This was good news for teammate Cole Aldrich, who gained more playing time in his absence. In 19 minutes, Aldrich put up four points with three rebounds, two blocks and a steal.
Marcus Morris, forward
Houston Rockets
Morris received great news from the Rockets on Monday, as the organization announced it recalled him from the D-League affiliate Rio Grande Valley Vipers. While he was available to play on Monday, he sat out in the game against the Grizzlies. Morris averaged 22.8 points and 9.1 rebounds in 10 games with the Vipers.
Josh Selby of the Reno Bighorns shoots over Texas Tech foward Paul Cooper during his career at the University. He is currently averaging 2.9 points and 1.4 assists.
Josh Selby, guard
D-League
Reno Bighorns
On Feb. 13, Selby was assigned to the Reno Bighorns, the NBA D-League affiliate of the Memphis Grizzlies. He’s averaged 2.9 points and 1.4 assists on 38.9 percent shooting in 10.3 minutes during his first season with the Grizzlies. His best game came on Dec. 30, when he tallied nine points with seven assists in 26 minutes. Over the weekend, Selby took the court with the Bighorns and put up 24 points (7-12), shot two of three from beyond the arc and had eight rebounds in 30 minutes of playing time.
