Kyle Kuzma reveals he’s been playing through hip soreness, says it’s ‘getting worse’

Something was off about Kyle Kuzma when the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Minnesota Timberwolves at Staples Center on Thursday.

In 28 minutes against Minnesota, Kuzma put up just 10 points on a woeful 4-12 shooting from the field. However, it wasn’t just that he was missing shots, it was the fact that most of his shots — even when he was open — were short.

Lakers head coach Luke Walton mentioned that Kuzma received treatment on his hip at practice on Wednesday, and after the Lakers’ 120-105 loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night, Walton told reporters that it looked like Kuzma wasn’t 100 percent yet.
