Kuzma has been one the best young players on the Lakers.
Heading into this season, the Los Angeles Lakers are one the favorites to win the NBA championship. With LeBron James and Anthony Davis leading the way, the Lakers are looking like an absolute powerhouse, even if their bench may seem like more a jigsaw puzzle than anything else. Having said all that, Kyle Kuzma is considered to be one their best young players and over the past couple years, he has proven himself to be one the most important assets to that team. If the Lakers want any shot at a title, they will need him at 100 percent.
According to Marc Stein the New York Times, Kuzma might be hitting a bit a snag as the season begins due to an ankle injury. Kuzma sat out the FIBA Basketball World Cup due to “ankle soreness” but now there is a fear that it’s worse than originally reported. In fact, Kuzma may have to miss the start training camp.
While this is bad news for Kuzma and the Lakers, fans will be happy to know that the team’s first practices are on Saturday which means the season is almost upon us. It feels like forever ago that the Toronto Raptors won the championship so it’s nice to see basketball back so soon.
Meanwhile, Kuzma is reportedly set to accept a deal with Puma Basketball.
