Marcus Joe Weathers (born August 5, 1997) is an American basketball player for Trefl Sopot of the Polish Basketball League. He played college basketball for the Miami RedHawks, Duquesne University for about three seasons, and spent his last year of eligibility at SMU Mustangs.
As Marcus and his twin brother, Michael, were reunited for almost quite some time, they both believed that this was not the plan they had in mind since they are seriously considering to commence workouts for the NBA G-League. [1] In their first game back together with his twin brother, Marcus dropped 11 points and 7 rebounds in a 86–62 victory over the McNeese State Cowboys. [2] His twin brother, Michael, recorded 9 points and 4 steals in that same game. On January 29, 2022, Marcus scored a season-high 27 points to go along with 9 rebounds in a 69–61 victory over the Temple Owls. [3]
In November 2022, Weathers signed with the San Miguel Beermen of the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) as the team's import for the 2023 PBA Governors' Cup. [4] However, on January 11, 2023, San Miguel selected Cameron Clark as their import instead. [5] Later that day, Weathers signed with the NorthPort Batang Pier, still with the PBA. [6] After playing four games, he was replaced by Kevin Murphy. [7]
On March 6, 2023, Weathers signed with Tainan TSG GhostHawks of the T1 League. [8]
On August 26, 2024, Weathers signed a one year contract with Trefl Sopot of the Polish Basketball League. [9]
