In Game 1 between the Celtics and Wizards, Markieff Morris suffered an ankle injury midway through the game and did not return. Morris' status for Game 2 was immediately put in doubt due to his injury. The Wizards themselves were also concerned since their bench hasn't played well against the Celtics and Morris is a key member of the team.
But there wasn't too much cause for concern as Morris was able to play in Game 2. However, since Morris has a twin brother Marcus Morris, that plays for the Detroit Pistons, many joked on social media that perhaps the brothers just traded places because after all, they are identical and even have matching tattoos.

And while those were just jokes, Marcus actually addressed the amusing conspiracy himself on Twitter:
I wouldn't play for another team unless I'm on that team. Smooth playing on a sprained ankle. I didn't expect anything less.

So there you have it. Marcus did not trade players with his brother Markieff and play against the Celtics. Case closed.
