The Los Angeles Lakers announced they have officially re-signed forward Markieff Morris to a one-year contract. Although the terms of the deal were not released, it is reported to be for the veteran’s minimum.
The Lakers originally signed Morris after he was waived by the Detroit Pistons in the middle of last season and he proved to be a big part of their championship run.
In 14 regular-season games for the Lakers (one start), Morris averaged 5.3 points and 3.2 rebounds while shooting 40.6% from the field and 33.3% behind the arc. He really emerged in the postseason while playing in all 21 games, starting two of them.
