LOS ANGELES -- Lakers forward Kyle Kuzma will undergo a MRI on Thursday to look at his lower back contusion, Los Angeles coach Luke Walton said after his team's 107-100 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday.
Kuzma, the Lakers' second-leading scorer this season with an 18.3 points per game average, was limited to only 4 points on 1-for-4 shooting, 1 rebound, 1 assist and 3 steals in 16 minutes against the Thunder. He exited the game at halftime and did not return after having his back examined by Lakers athletic trainer Marco Nuñez.
