Suns and Brothers

The two brothers worked out in Phoenix last summer. On Feb. 21, the Suns sent a second-round draft pick to Houston, and Marcus was reunited with his twin after a troubling season and a half apart.       

He is considered the more assertive and outgoing of the twins and is described as “Markieff’s batteries” by team officials. Lindsey Hunter, the Suns’ interim coach, said that since Marcus joined the team, Markieff’s mood had brightened considerably.       

“I think he has been better,” Hunter said. “He has been more attentive, paying attention to details.”       

If the brothers do find themselves in competition with each other, for a meal or something more prized, it is usually settled with a video game. In their new house, Markieff got the master bedroom after defeating Marcus in a best-of-five series while playing the N.B.A. 2K video series.       

“Marcus was up, two games to none,” said Angel Morris, their mother. “We looked at the house, and he said: ‘I can’t believe I lost. Where I’ve got to sleep compared to ’Kieff is crazy.’ I said: ‘I tell you what. There’s a big swivel chair in Markieff’s room. How about if I buy you one just like it and put it in his room and you can go in there and swivel with him.’ ”
