Coach JJ Redick believes Morris, who was part of the Lakers’ 2019-20 NBA championship-winning team, is “very valuable” as a veteran leader on and off the court.

In a recent podcast appearance with his twin brother, Markieff Morris, a new addition to the Los Angeles Lakers, took a moment to heap praise on Austin Reaves. Reaves has quickly become one of the most crucial pieces of the Lakers' lineup.

With his championship experience and leadership, Morris continues to be a major part of the Lakers' championship aspirations.

Reaves is enjoying a career year for the Lakers while thriving in an increased role as a primary creator. That role changes some with Doncic now on board, but Reaves remains an integral part of this team and Morris sees big things in his future.

Austin Reaves’ outstanding performance has been crucial to the Lakers’ success, keeping them in contention for the NBA Championship. For this reason, his teammate Markieff Morris shared some heartfelt words to recognize Reaves’ impact.

Luka Doncic’s fiancée seems to be loving Los Angeles after the Mavericks star was traded to the Lakers in a blockbuster this month.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Dončić dribbles the ball against the Dallas Mavericks at Crypto.com Arena on Tuesday night.

In an emotional reunion against his former franchise, teammates and coaches, Dončić finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds and 11 assists.

Tonight’s matchup marks the first encounter between Dončić and the Dallas Mavericks since the blockbuster trade occurred on Feb. 1. The Mavericks traded Dončić, Maxi Kleber, and Markieff Morris to the Lakers in exchange for Anthony Davis, Max Christie, and a 2029 first-rounder.
