    Markieff Morris walked back onto the Suns practice court Monday and backtracked on his summer of discontent with one statement.

    "I want to be here," Morris said while wearing his Suns No. 11 jersey for media day.

    Morris did not elaborate on how he has expressed unhappiness with the Suns since early July, when they traded his twin, Marcus, to Detroit while they were on vacation. It was a payroll-cutting move to pursue free agent target LaMarcus Aldridge, who would have replaced Markieff as the starting power forward but he chose San Antonio over Phoenix.

    "I'm looking forward to the season, not really trying to look at the past," Morris said. "I don't really want to talk about what I did in the summer. I really want to look forward to this up-and-coming season. Glad to be back with my teammates and glad to be back with the team."
