Collegiate career
SMU Mustangs (2021–2022)
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]
Professional career
NorthPort Batang Pier (2023)
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]
Tainan TSG GhostHawks (2023–present)
On March 6, 2023, Weathers signed with Tainan TSG GhostHawks of the T1 League.[8]

They have fond memories of him making them breakfast and taking them to the park.[1]
