As TMZ reports, the family informed the outlet in a May 4 statement that Morris had died and requested privacy. “With great sadness we announce the passing of our dearly beloved son, Darius Aaron Morris. During this time of transition, his family asks that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace.”
There are little to no details regarding his death, but Morris’s death has prompted an outpouring of heartfelt messages on social media ranging from the Los Angeles Lakers official Twitter/X account to beat writers who covered Morris when he was a standout basketball player in high school.
Morris concluded, still optimistic about his chances, “You definitely do be having those doubts, especially as you get a little bit older and things don’t happen overnight. I’m human, so I definitely get those thoughts. That’s when I let my faith in God take over. The fact that teams keep calling lets you know that you’re still on their radar. When they stop calling, that’s when I’ll start thinking maybe it’s over. It’s just trying to find the right fit and staying in front of them. A lot of stuff is just about timing. Since I’ve been out, I’ve been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now it’s about being in the right place at the right time.”
