Los Angeles Lakers: Kyle Kuzma smartly being patient with ankle injury

Things have not gone as hoped during the 2019-20 season thus far for Los Angeles Lakers forward, Kyle Kuzma. Kuzma, the lone holdover from the team’s young core, has struggled this season with consistency because of injuries.

The former Utah product was injured during training camp with Team USA in preparation for the FIBA World Cup this summer. That pushed back his timeline to get ready for the NBA season with the Lakers.

Kuzma missed the first four games of the season recovering from the stress reaction. He struggled out of the gate, understandably, but after a week, he looked to have found his footing.
