The Los Angeles Lakers’ injury woes grew on Wednesday as Kyle Kuzma participated in a portion of practice before receiving treatment on his hip. Meanwhile, Rajon Rondo has not yet been cleared to return, and LeBron James remains out for Thursday’s matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves.
“Hopefully he’s fine,” Lakers head coach Luke Walton said of Kuzma. I haven’t seen him or talked to the trainers. He went in there to get treatment early into practice. I’ll get an update on him when I get done out here.”
The Lakers cleared Rondo last weekend for full-contact in practice, which was followed by the veteran point guard playing in multiple scrimmages.
