Over the last month, Markieff Morris has gotten a ton of credit for how he stepped up as a starter while Anthony Davis and LeBron James were both out with injuries. Morris’ strong play was instrumental in the Lakers managing to go nearly .500 over their time without both James and Davis before the latter’s return pushed the twin back to the bench.
But to hear Morris tell it, he was never worried about his slow start, something he made clear to Kyle Goon of the O.C. Register:
“I mean, (expletive), look at my production throughout my career,” he said in an interview with Southern California News Group this week.
