A lot has been made of the Lakers’ latest additions — Dion Waiters and J.R. Smith — since the NBA season restarted, and rightfully so: neither of them logged a single second for Los Angeles before the season was suspended, and they both have exuberant personalities. However, they’re not the only ones that are new to the team.
On Feb. 23 — 15 days before the NBA indefinitely suspended its season — the Lakers signed Markieff Morris for additional size and shooting in their front court. Since then, Morris has only appeared in 14 games for Los Angeles — six of which were played in the Orlando bubble.
