Wizards' Markieff Morris: Returns to starting lineup after foot injury

Morris (foot) returned from a one-game absence during Washington's 122-108 win over Detroit on Friday and posted 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 3Pt), four assists, three rebounds, one steal and one block across 18 minutes.

Analysis:

Morris returned to the starting lineup and scored in double figures for the eighth straight game despite only playing 18 minutes due to foul trouble. He had shot below 45 percent from the field in his last four contests but shot the ball better in limited run Friday. Kelly Oubre, who started and played 40 minutes during Morris' absence, got 34 minutes in this game. Morris' minutes will likely trend up against the Clippers on Sunday.
