Lyles, a 6-foot-10 power forward, will turn 24 in November. He averaged 8.5 points and nearly 4 rebounds per game last season with Denver.

For his career, Lyles is averaging nearly 8 points and 4 rebounds.

A native of Canada who went to high school in Indianapolis before playing college ball at Kentucky, Lyles was selected 12th overall by Utah in 2015.

Morris plans to sign a one-year, $15 million deal with the New York Knicks after backing out of a proposed deal with the Spurs.
