Saturday was a bad day for the Milwaukee Bucks. It was even more so for forward Kyle Kuzma.
The Bucks opened the NBA playoff schedule with a 117-98 loss to the Indiana Pacers. Kuzma had one of the worst individual playoff performances in league history in the losing effort.
Kuzma started and played 21 minutes for a Bucks team playing shorthanded without All-Star Damian Lillard. He failed to record a single counting stat.
Here's Kuzma's line for the game:
0-5 from the field
0-2 from 3
0-2 from the FT line
0 points
0 rebounds
0 assists
0 steals
0 blocks
0 turnovers
It added up to a game-worst -24 in the plus/minus column and a brutal day for the eighth-year NBA veteran making his first playoff appearance for the Bucks since joining them in the midseason trade that sent Khris Middleton to the Wizards.
