His return to Los Angeles comes as the Lakers continue their pursuit of another championship, adding a familiar face with a wealth of playoff experience.
Morris, a 6’9″ forward, played an essential role in the Lakers’ successful 2020 title run, contributing both defensively and offensively with his ability to stretch the floor and provide grit on defense.

Lakers fans are thrilled about the reunion, taking to social media to express their excitement for the team’s potential to return to championship contention. With Morris back in purple and gold, the Lakers look primed for a strong second half of the season, as they add another piece to their roster that already includes superstars like LeBron James and Anthony Davis.
