The Detroit Pistons’ first game after the All-Star break may have been a signal that another move was on the horizon as Markieff Morris did not play and was not a scratch.
One day later he was bought out and late Friday night the Los Angeles Lakers cleared a roster spot by waiving DeMarcus Cousins so Morris could join them, according to The Athletic’s James L. Edwards III and Shams Charania.
Morris, 30, still has to clear waivers and, if claimed, it would void the buyout agreed upon by the Pistons.
