With the win, he’s gonna rest and sleep like a baby tonight so hopefully he’ll be ok.
Kuzma is gonna be special here. Even with his current flaws, he’s a ridiculously hard worker that will continue to get better, and his heart is out of this world. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

I don’t think it will ever be Deng time. Williams would get some minutes if Kuzma can’t play. |

Was screaming at my TV because of his play in the 1st half but he shut me up in the 2nd half. Great game by Kuz |

I know you disagree with everything, especially if Klay is mentioned here. But wouldn't you agree that his performance was Thompson-esque? |

Great game by Kuzma tonight. He was huge when the Lakers were faltering in the second half. And nice effort in playing through the ankle sprain. |

That is a man right there. That is, dare I say, MAMBA MENTALITY.
People will knock his defense and I would agree, but does this look like a kid that won’t progress on that end? A kid with that much skill and heart?
This is the kind of stuff why I’m so high on him. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

Kyle Kuzma had x-rays on his right ankle postgame. He said they were clean, no breaks. _________________ Nobody in the NBA can touch the Laker brand, which, like the uniform color, is pure gold. |

He will continue to have his ups and downs. I just have never understood the hate for a rookie given the flashes of brilliance he’s had all season long. |

Mamba mentality
He's rebounding and defending like a fiend out there when his shot isn't dropping.
And let's recap Kuz's best games this season
The summer league finals
The Houston game
The Celtics game
The revenge game vs the Nuggets
He is a big game player, period
