The Los Angeles Lakers returned from a five-game road trip without LeBron James available for Sunday’s matchup against the Denver Nuggets, but seeing Kyle Kuzma back in the lineup after he missed time due to a left ankle sprain.
The injury cost Kuzma the entire road trip and was the third he’s suffered since the summer. “He’s not comfortable right now,” Lakers head coach Frank Vogel acknowledged. “It’s impossible for anyone to be comfortable after missing a whole training camp and battled three different injuries this early into a season.
“He hasn’t played in a week or two, and now we start the process again of getting him back in the offense and getting him comfortable.
