After acquiring Marcus Morris from the New York Knicks, the Los Angeles Clippers will start Patrick Beverley, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Morris and Ivica Zubac moving forward, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports.
The Clippers now have one of the deepest rosters in the league:
Yahoo Sources: Clippers intend to go with an extremely versatile starting lineup of Patrick Beverley, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris and Ivica Zubac.

The Clippers are 36-15 on the season. They have the second-best record in the Western Conference.
Morris averaged 19.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 assists with the Knicks this season while shooting 44.2 percent from the field, 43.9 percent from beyond the arc and 82.3 percent from the free-throw line. He will add toughness, veteran leadership and scoring to the Clippers' dynamic.
Of course, LA will still ultimately go as far as stars Kawhi Leonard and Paul George can take them. The Clippers are already 2-0 against LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers this season.
The Lakers were in the mix to acquire Morris too, but the Clippers beat them to the punch.
