ESPN analyst and ex-Knick Marcus Morris Sr. allegedly stole over $250K from casinos, denied bail in fraud case
NY Post
Marcus Morris Sr. isn’t off the hook.
The NBA player, a former Knick, was denied bond Tuesday after he allegedly received $265,000 from two major Las Vegas casinos in 2024 through bad checks that he did not pay back when they didn’t cash, according to TMZ.
Morris, who has not played professionally since 2023-24 and makes regular appearances on ESPN’s “First Take,” allegedly got $115,000 from the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino and $150,000 from performing a similar scam at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel and Casino.
The 35-year-old has been in custody in Broward County, Fla., since Sunday.
Morris’ attorneys asked that he be granted bond in order to handle his debts, which they told the judge that Morris was in the process of paying.
His lawyers argued that releasing him would allow him to expedite paying back the Las Vegas casino debts, but the judge denied these requests and said Morris would only be released if it were to Nevada authorities for extradition or if the arrest warrants were dropped.
