The fallout continues from the Luka Doncic/Dennis Schroder scuffle during the Lakers/Kings on Dec. 28, a scuffle which prompted Schroder to seek out Doncic after the game, looking to strike him.
As a result, Schroder was suspended for three games. On Friday, Doncic's Lakers teammate Markieff Morris gave an explicit analysis of what he saw happen from his perspective if he were on the floor, per The Morris Code podcast.
“I got the call right away and they said ‘cuz put hands on him.' I don’t put that past Schroder… This sh*t would've never f **king happend if I was with the Lakers.”
