Remembered for his exuberant personality, former Lakers and Clippers guard Darius Morris has died at 33. His father and brother were convicted of fraud in February.
It seems far too soon to be mourning the death of Darius Morris, the memory of the irrepressible point guard stepping into the Lakers' starting lineup in a 2013 playoff series and shining still fresh in the minds of so many. Yet a spokesperson with the Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner confirmed that Morris died May 2 in a private residence. He was 33. The spokesperson said it could take up to three months for the cause of death to be determined.
As brash as he was scrawny, Morris needed to launch shots with two hands from his hip to reach the basket, yet he promised people he’d be able to dunk and that Windward was going to win a state championship before he graduated. 'The first game I laid eyes on him, I knew he had special talent,' said Villegas, now the athletic director at St. Monica High. 'He had the 'it' factor.
