When the NBA resumes the regular season later this month, several members of the Los Angeles Lakers will display social justice messages in place of their last names on the backs of their jerseys for the first four days of the league’s restart. Kyle Kuzma will not be among them.
“I just don’t believe you have to put something on the back of your jersey to make a statement. I do a lot for the city of Flint, (Michigan), inner-city L.A., a lot of social activism,” Kuzma said on his Zoom call with the media on Wednesday.
