Back in August Kyle Kuzma was the final cut for the USA National Team headed to China for the FIBA World Cup. At that time, Kuzma was reportedly dealing with ankle soreness from a sprain he’d suffered. Better safe than sorry, Kuzma returned stateside while the national team floundered to a 7th place finish in Asia.
Fast forward a few weeks and Kuzma is reportedly still dealing with lower leg issues, specifically his foot, per Marc Stein of the New York Times. Stein is also reporting that Kuzma as Kuzma continues to heal, the Lakers fear his availability for the start of training camp is in question.
