PHOENIX (AP) – A trial will begin for NBA players Marcus and Markieff Morris, who allegedly assaulted a man outside a Phoenix recreation center.
Maricopa County Superior Court officials announced the trial’s jury selection will start Wednesday.
The Morris brothers are accused of helping three other people beat 36-year-old Erik Hood on Jan. 24, 2015.
Hood told Phoenix police that he was repeatedly punched and kicked and sustained a fractured nose, abrasions and a large bump on his head.
Hood is an acquaintance of the Morris brothers and reportedly had a falling out with them in 2010.
