Frank Vogel gives a worrying answer when asked about Markieff Morris’ availability for the Lakers

It was speculated that Los Angeles Lakers forward Markieff Morris was not with the team in the NBA bubble in Orlando, Florida.

Lakers’ coach Frank Vogel did not make worries disappear after his comments on Wednesday.

I asked Frank Vogel what Markieff Morris was like. He said he won’t comment on how gamers are trying to practice to protect their privacy. So @mcten asked if Morris is here in Orlando. Vogel refused to answer.

Morris, 30, joined the Lakers after the All-Star break in February.

The attacker only played in eight games with the Lakers before the coronavirus novel suspended the season on March 11th. As a member of the Lakers, Morris averages 4.8 points and 3.3 boards per game this season.

The Lakers have collected the veteran to strengthen the second unit. Morris offers space with its 3 shooting points, solid defense and toughness.

However, with its apparent absence in the bubble, the Lakers can be without another key player when they resume their season.

Defensive guard Avery Bradley has decided not to take part in the conclusion of the 2019-2020 season. In addition, the former All-Star Rajon Rondo will be out for several weeks after injuring his thumb.

Nonetheless, the Lakers made no apology since they are focused on taking home a championship. I am the seed n. 1 of the Western Conference.

The 2019-20 season resumes on July 30th.
