Former NBA guard Darius Morris has died at the age of 33.

During his four-year NBA career, Morris played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers, Los Angeles Clippers, Memphis Grizzlies and the Brooklyn Nets.

He was selected by the Lakers in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft out of Michigan.

A 6-foot-4 point guard, Morris averaged 3.3 points and 1.1 assists per game. His best season was the 2013-14 campaign, in which he scored 6.9 points per game with 2.6 assists, shooting 42 percent on 3-pointers.

Morris had a standout career at Michigan from 2009-11. In his sophomore season under coach John Beilein, he tallied 235 assists, the fourth-highest total in school history.

With that, Morris became only the fifth player in school history with 200 or more in a season.

Morris' cause of death has not been reported.
