Suns Marcus & Markieff Morris Accused Of Assaulting Man Who Was Sexting Their Mom

The Morris Twins don’t play when it comes to mom! The Phoenix Suns Ballers are accused of assaulting former professional basketball player Erik Hood in January. The 25 year old brothers and three others allegedly attacked the man after they learned of “inappropriate” text messages he sent to their mother. 

The alleged assault took place at the Nina Mason Pulliam Recreation & Sports Complex where Erik Hood and a woman had been watching a basketball game. Marcus & Markieff’s mother denies having contact with Hood on the day in question. Hood and his female companion were leaving the complex when they were accosted by a man named Julius Kane, who Erik Hood believes told the Morris twins about the text message.

The twins are being accused of aggravated assault after Hood and his female companion identified Kane and the twins as 3 of the five men who attacked him. Hood suffered a broken nose, a large knot on the back of his head and abrasions. Markieff Morris denied being part of the attack, though he admitted he and his brother were at the game (because the sponsor one of the teams).

No arrests were made and no charges were filed but prosecutors are continuing to review the case submitted by police.
