Markieff Morris, following his return to the Lakers, has transitioned from a key player to a significant veteran voice on the bench. Originally part of the 2019-20 championship team, Morris offered consistent contributions even through injury challenges. Now, as head coach JJ Redick highlighted, his leadership qualities contribute greatly to team morale and player energy. Redick acknowledged the importance of a respected veteran presence, such as Morris, which parallels the previous role held by Jared Dudley, exemplifying the need for organizational continuity in leadership.
He's been awesome. It's very valuable to have a guy like that, a voice, an older voice, someone who's seen it all in the NBA, someone who's won a championship, obviously that helps as well.
It's important that he's been through it with LeBron and our guys know that. LeBron respects him, our guys respect him.
