The Los Angeles Lakers were finally able to welcome Markieff Morris back to the court during their 123-116 scrimmage win over Washington Wizards.
Morris was the last member of the roster to arrive in the bubble at Walt Disney World. He was said to have been an excused absence, and the Lakers nor Morris have provided specifics. Morris only offered that he was dealing with a family matter.
Although Morris was available for the victory over the Orlando Magic, head coach Frank Vogel was adamant about easing him into the rotation.
Vogel opted to give heavy minutes to the role players after having LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kyle Kuzma and Dwight Howard sit out against Washington.
