Lakers' Markieff Morris: Back to bench role
Morris is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against the Bulls, Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet reports.
Morris made his first start of the season in Thursday's loss to the Bulls, but the veteran forward will return to his regular bench role with the Lakers playing all their regulars once again. Morris isn't expected to see enough minutes to be a reliable fantasy asset in most formats.

Lakers' Markieff Morris: Making first start of season
Morris is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against the Bucks, Jovan Buha of The Athletic reports.
Morris has barely played this season, but he'll get the starting nod for the second night of this back-to-back set since the Lakers will be extremely depleted in the frontcourt. This will be the 14-year veteran's first start of the season.

Lakers' Markieff Morris: Removed from injury report
Morris has been cleared to play in Saturday's game against the Celtics, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Morris has played only three games for the Lakers since being traded to Los Angeles last month, averaging 6.7 minutes per game. From a fantasy perspective, the veteran big man has been a non-factor and likely won't be for the rest of the season as he rarely sees the floor.

Lakers' Markieff Morris: Still sidelined
Morris (illness) won't play in Thursday's game against New York, Dave McMenamin of ESPN.com reports.
Morris will miss a second consecutive game due to illness. Considering he hasn't appeared in a game since Feb 12, his absence shouldn't have much rotational impact. Morris' next chance to play will come Saturday at Boston.

Lakers' Markieff Morris: Could make Lakers debut Tuesday
Morris (recently traded) is not on the injury report for Tuesday's game against the Clippers, Daniel Starkand of LakersNation.com reports.
The veteran big man is expected to be available to make his Lakers debut after having been included in the trade that sent Anthony Davis (abdomen) and Max Christie to the Mavericks in exchange for Morris, Luka Doncic (calf) and Maxi Kleber (foot). Morris averaged 5.9 minutes per game over seven appearances with the Mavericks. However, he could see a bump in playing time with Los Angeles, as the Lakers are fairly thin in the frontcourt.

Lakers' Markieff Morris: Shipped to L.A.
The Lakers acquired Morris, Luka Doncic (calf) and Maxi Kleber (foot) from the Mavericks on Saturday in exchange for Anthony Davis (abdomen), Max Christie and a 2029 first-round pick, Shams Charania of ESPN reports.
The Jazz will also receive Jalen Hood-Schifino (hamstring) and two 2025 second-round picks to help facilitate the blockbuster trade centered around Doncic and Davis. Morris hasn't seen much playing time in Dallas this season, but he'll get a fresh start with the Lakers alongside Doncic, LeBron James and Austin Reaves. Morris was traded by the Pistons to the Lakers during the 2019-20 campaign and won his only championship with the team at the NBA Bubble that October.

Mavericks' Markieff Morris: Makes season debut Wednesday
Morris ended with zero points (0-1 FG), two rebounds and two assists across five minutes during Wednesday's 119-99 victory over the Bulls.
The Mavericks dominated Wednesday's matchup with the Bulls, allowing Morris to dust the cobwebs off for five minutes. Now toward the back end of his career, Morris is mostly a veteran locker room presence on most nights. Even when he does play, he is unlikely to deliver meaningful contributions, as we saw in this one.

Mavericks' Markieff Morris: Returns to Dallas
Morris agreed to a contract with the Mavericks on Saturday, Shams Charania of The Athletic reports.
Morris spent the 2023-24 campaign with Dallas, appearing in 26 games (one start) and averaging 2.5 points and 1.5 rebounds across 8.3 minutes. With Naji Marshall replacing Derrick Jones and the rest of the Mavs frontcourt sticking around, Morris will likely be a fringe rotation piece in 2024-25.
