Johnson said Harrell ‘is providing that outstanding spark for the Lakers’, with his performance on both ends of the floor.

“Center Montrezl Harrell is providing that outstanding spark for the @Lakers, like he did for the Clippers, averaging 14 PPG and shooting 64% from the field!” Johnson tweeted.
