Markieff Morris quit NSFV in the fight between Luka Doncic and Denis Schroeder
The precipitation continues from Luka Dončić/Dennis Schroder a fight during the Lakers/Kings game on December 28, a fight that prompted Schroeder to seek out Doncic after the game, looking to hit him.
As a result, Schroder suspended for three games. Doncic’s Lakers teammate on Friday Markieff Morris gave an explicit analysis of what he saw happening from his perspective if he was on the floor, according to The Morris Code podcast.
“I got a call right away and they said ‘because you put it in your hands.’ I’m not putting it past Schroeder… This s**t would never have happened if I was with the Lakers.”
