Kyle Kuzma says he’s ‘real sad’ that Brandon Ingram will miss rest of Lakers season because Kuzma knows ‘how bad he wants to be great’

When the Los Angeles Lakers announced that Brandon Ingram would have to sit out for the rest of the season as he received treatment for newly discovered blood clotting in his shoulder, it was received as universally sad news.

Lakers star LeBron James and several of Ingram’s other teammates expressed their sadness that the best basketball of Ingram’s career would have to come to a screeching halt due to a totally unforeseeable and worrying health issue, but notably missing from that chorus of well-wishers was Kyle Kuzma, whose locker sits mere feet away from Ingram’s.
