Marcus Morris got kicked out of game for slamming the ball into a defender’s head

Morris, who is in his first year with the team and recently said he wants to bring the style of the 1990s Knicks back to the franchise, first seemed to hit Anderson with a vicious elbow and then he finished things off by pounding the ball into Anderson’s head.

Morris was immediately toss from the game.
