NBA players Marcus and Markieff Morris go on trial Monday on felony assault charges stemming from a beating outside a Phoenix recreation center more than two years ago. The trial threatens to disrupt the start of their 2017 NBA season with training camp set to begin for both players on Sept. 26. The Morris brothers are accused of helping three other people beat 36-year-old Erik Hood on Jan. 24, 2015. Police say Hood was leaving a high school basketball game when he was approached by a friend of the Morris brothers. Police say Hood was assaulted for sending an inappropriate text message to the Morris brothers' mother.
