Before the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Los Angeles Clippers, some of Kyle Kuzma's teammates were having fun at his expense because of the outfit he was wearing.

Kuzma had been sidelined since Dec. 8 as a result of a left ankle injury and returned to the lineup against the Denver Nuggets on Sunday. In that performance, he was on the floor for 22 minutes and totaled 16 points and four rebounds.

So far this season, Kuzma is averaging 11.3 points and 3.4 rebounds, which is considerably lower mostly as a result of his injuries and Anthony Davis' arrival. While his scoring average was expected to take a dip, Kuzma is supposed to be a complementary key scorer for the Lakers.

Regardless of the comments towards Kuzma's outfit, that shouldn't come close to dampening his Christmas spirit. He was able to spend the holiday with his family for the first time in seven years because he had to leave for a prep school to reach the level where he's at now in his career.
