Marcus Morris and Markieff Morris are beginning their trial for allegedly assaulting a man outside a Phoenix recreation center.

The Morris brothers are accused of helping three other people beat 36-year-old Erik Hood on Jan. 24, 2015.

Maricopa County Superior Court officials announced the trial's jury selection will start Wednesday.

The Morris brothers were previously teammates with the Phoenix Suns until Marcus Morris was traded to the Detroit Pistons.

Magic Johnson has asked Jeanie Buss for the Los Angeles Lakers to take their tampering fine out of his salary.

“We can’t say a lot but we will correct the situation,” Johnson said Monday. “It’s under my watch. I apologize to Jeanie, and that was the main thing. I told her she could take it out of my salary because I don’t want the Lakers to be paying that fine. … I don’t want her spending $500,000, because she didn’t do anything. That’s on me.”

Johnson joked on Jimmy Kimmel's late night about Paul George, which led to a warning from the NBA. Rob Pelinka subsequently gave an illegal expression of interest to George's agent.

“This is just on a late-night show being funny,” Johnson said after touring a donation facility he helped organize with West Angeles Church to benefit victims of Tropical Storm Harvey. “But now I know I can’t do that. We’re OK. I haven’t thought twice about it. We made a mistake. … It’s under my watch. I’m gonna make sure it doesn’t happen anymore.”
