Suns forward Markieff Morris didn’t appreciate being pulled from Wednesday night’s loss to the Nuggets. He now won't play the next two games, either.
Morris threw a tantrum and a towel at coach Jeff Hornacek, and the team will suspend him for two games as a result. There’s no video of the incident, but Hornacek talked about it after the loss.

Hornacek, by the way, reportedly picked up the towel and threw it back along with a few choice words for Morris.
