Lakers forward Markieff Morris said he has lost a toenail before and that it was an ordeal to overcome. “I mean I played the next game, but s—, man, that s— was like a month and a half before it started feeling better,” Morris said. “Because you don’t realize how much your toe is rubbing against the top of your shoes, or you’re using your toe for power. … It’s a terrible thing.” Said Drummond: “I’ve lost a toenail before. But this one was very painful.”
“I played a couple of months with him in Detroit before I came to LA,” Morris told Mike Trudell of Spectrum SportsNet. “He’s a hard-nosed guy. He’s physical in the paint. He’s going to block shots. He’s going to rebound. He’s going to dunk the ball. He’s going to be exactly what we need to make this playoff push. I’m excited to have him.”
