EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Rookie Kyle Kuzma came to Luke Walton's defense on Monday saying that the Los Angeles Lakers "stand by" their head coach.
Kuzma said it was "upsetting" to see comments made by LaVar Ball to ESPN's Jeff Goodman stating that Walton had lost control of the team and "they don't want to play for him."
"I don't think that's the case," Kuzma said on Monday. "When you lose games at the end of the day Luke isn't the one going out and shooting 2-for-15, turning the ball over, having turnovers or missing free throws.
