Adam Morrison on how Luka Krajnovic's return 'takes off pressure' for Gonzaga's backcourt

"That’s going to help to have [Krajnovic] in the back pocket for minutes for our guard situation," Morrison said on an episode of The Perimeter

Luka Krajnovic made his welcomed return to action for the Gonzaga Bulldogs in Tuesday's 92-58 win over Loyola Marymount. The freshman guard had been sidelined since Dec. 15 with a broken hand he suffered hours before the UConn game.

After participating in pregame warmups for the last week, Krajnovic subbed into the LMU game at the 7:10 mark in the second half. The 6-foot-5 Croatian proceeded to score six points, shoot 2-for-4 from the field and knock down a pair of free throws.

With Krajnovic back in the fold, he can take some of the burden off Ryan Nembhard and Nolan Hickman's shoulders, as both starting guards average over 34 minutes and have logged 40-minute games a combined 12 times this season.

Former Gonzaga All-American Adam Morrison broke down how Krajnovic's return impacts the Bulldogs moving forward on a new episode of The Perimeter. (Morrison's comments on Krajnovic start at the 36:55 mark of the video.)
