This paper establishes interior Morrey regularity for stable solutions of the $ p $-Laplace equation $ -\Delta_p u = h(u) $ in $ B_1\subset\mathbb{R}^d $, where $ h $ belongs to $ C^1(\mathbb{R}) $. The results cover the endpoint case left unresolved by Cabré et al. Moreover, for positive nonlinearities $ h $, a global Morrey estimate was obtained for stable solutions of a Dirichlet problem on any smooth, bounded, strictly convex domain.
