While providing daily updates on LeBron James and Rajon Rondo has become commonplace for Los Angeles Lakers head coach Luke Walton in recent weeks, he revealed Wednesday that Kyle Kuzma exited practice early to receive treatment on his hip.
Kuzma participated in Thursday’s shootaround and was said to be moving well. However, he struggled against the Minnesota Timberwolves, missing his first five shots and at times moving gingerly.
Several of Kuzma’s misses were short, which suggested his hip remained an issue. “He didn’t look right to me. He didn’t look like he was moving right,” Walton said after the Lakers’ loss.
