Free agent Markieff Morris has agreed to sign with Oklahoma City, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
Morris was traded by the Wizards to the Pelicans before the deadline for Wesley Johnson. He was waived one day later.
The 29-year-old forward has been out since Dec. 26 with a neck injury, but when healthy he has been effective.
Morris is averaging 11.5 points and 5.1 rebounds while making a career-best 1.4 3-pointers per game. He is shooting 33.3 percent from beyond the arc and 43.6 percent from the field.
The Thunder are 19th in the NBA in 3-pointers made per game and 14th among 16 potential playoff teams.
