Montrezl Harrell was arguably the most hyped offseason addition for the Los Angeles Lakers, but he ended up overcoming his share of personal struggles during an up-and-down season.
The center was open about dealing with the grief of his grandmother during the season, but that wasn’t the only family he was missing.
Harrell was understandably stricken by grief to the point where he had to take some time off in the NBA bubble last year. In his Lakers exit interview, he even mentioned how it still affects him every day and how people on social media who had the nerve to even mock him for his grief are not helping.
