Report: Shaq Morris will return to Wichita State for senior season
Wichita State center Shaq Morris will return for his senior season, according to Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.
Rothstein, citing a source, said Morris withdrew his name from the NBA Draft.
Wednesday is the deadline for athletes who declare for the NBA Draft to withdraw without losing eligibility. Morris did not hire an agent.
Morris, a 6-foot-8, averaged 9.8 points and 5.1 rebounds in 2016-17.
WSU junior Markis McDuffie worked out for the Toronto Raptors on Monday. He is also expected to withdraw his name and return to WSU.
McDuffie, a 6-foot-8 forward, averaged 11.5 points and 5.7 rebounds.
Neither Morris nor McDuffie were invited to the NBA combine, an indication they are not viewed as likely draft picks. Sixty-seven prospects worked out for scouts in Chicago earlier this month.
